Ghost Train, 2002
Written by Hot Club Of Cowtown
The narrator of the song has had it with false promises. The addressee pays a lot of lip service to love, but nothing is behind them. It's clear that presents and empty words don't cut it, so this person is being written off. "Oh I’ve gone to the mountains, for violets and birds of paradise / But Forget-Me-Nots I’m skipping, hon, I’m leaving them behind." This bluegrass-swing trio has been around for over 25 years, but I'd never heard of them. Singer and fiddler Elana James has a beautiful voice, giving this kiss-off a sweet soudn that belies its ultimately sad tale.
