Jim Gaudet and the Railroad Boys do folk with a little more than just a guitar and singer/songwriter. Their sound is broader, though it sounds traditional and conjures images of classic American folk music. "Texas Girls", the records introduction, has a bit of a Don Williams flavor to it (while they sing of Hank Williams). Perhaps it's the homage to Texas that brings memories of Williams to the forefront. The Railroad Boys get to sing about themselves on the aptly titled "The Railroad Boys." "Apple of Your Eye" sounds like a much folkier version of The Mother Hips (their phrasing and harmonizing is similar). Gaudet and the Boys showcase their blues chops on "Poor Boy Blues." There's even an accapella intro on "Blue", where the band strips things back with a seeming guest vocalist. The sound here is vintage and their voices are seasoned. These cuts occasionally sound a bit like something off the O' Brother Where Art Thou soundtrack. Devotees of that work and early Americana should give Jim Gaudet and the Railroad Boys a click and a play. MM
