Trains and Boats and Planes explores the time-honored theme of travel, meditating movingly on the heartache of separation and loss. Cantrell delivers deeply-felt interpretations of a diverse set of tunes, including her bittersweet reading of the Burt Bacharach/Hal David-penned title track, along with poignant interpretations of Merle Haggard’s "Silver Wings" and Roger Miller’s "Train of Life," a wry take on John Hartford’s "Howard Hughes Blues," a mournful reworking of New Order’s "Love Vigilantes" (also included on the soundtrack album of the documentary film Body of War, alongside the likes of Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young and Eddie Vedder), and an evocative arrangement of the Gordon Lightfoot epic "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald."
