Travelling by train in America is of course much more complicated and expensive than flying, but I didn’t want to fly over Texas, New Mexico, California, but to drive through the middle.

Despite the poor quality, I was taken with the harmonies of this wistful country pop pearl – and they made me hum the chorus while I showered and packed my suitcase.
