Mystery Train - 706 Union Avenue

Review by Barth Gyongyi

Mystery Train's latest album, 706 Union Avenue, is a tribute to the birthplace of rock and roll, Sun Studio. The band's unique blend of blues, rock, and country make for a memorable listening experience.

The album opens with the upbeat track "Rockabilly Boogie," showcasing the band's tight musicianship and vocalist's powerful voice. "Mystery Train," a cover of Elvis Presley's classic, is given new life with a fresh arrangement that stays true to the original while adding a modern twist.

The album's standout track is "Sun Studio Blues," a slow-burning blues number that perfectly captures the spirit of the legendary recording studio. The band's raw energy and emotion shine through on this track, making it a highlight of the album.

Other notable tracks include the country-tinged "Tennessee Waltz" and the bluesy "That's All Right," both of which showcase the band's versatility and ability to seamlessly blend genres.
