Featuring contributions from guitarist Chris Scruggs as well as The Jordanaires, 'A Train Bound For Glory' is an album of original country, soul, blues, rock 'n' roll and romantic ballads, united into a cohesive collection by Molinari's distinctive voice.
'A Train Bound For Glory' is the follow up to 2008's 'A Virtual Landslide', which received widespread acclaim for evoking Hank Williams, Bob Dylan and Woody Guthrie in the quality of its songwriting and Roy Orbison, Billie Holiday and Patsy Cline in its creator's voice....despite hailing from Chatham in Kent. The release of the album led to several Radio 2 sessions (Radcliffe & Maconie, Bob Harris, Mark Lamaar, etc) plus much wider radio coverage. The likes of Ray Davies, Paul Weller and Richard Hawley sang its praises, and Molinari received a Mojo Honours List nomination as best newcomer.
Following a period of touring as both headlining act and as support to the likes of Hawley and The Black Keys, Molinari recorded an EP of classic covers in Nashville with local legends The Jordanaires in the spring of 2009, returning later in the year to record his new album with producer Adam Landry and a handpicked band. Featuring contributions from guitarist Chris Scruggs as well as The Jordanaires, the result is an album of original country, soul, blues, rock 'n' roll and romantic ballads, united into a cohesive collection by Molinari's distinctive voice.
