    The Rock band San Francisco, California Train debuts on WSVNRadio.net this week, with their third studio album, My Private Nation, released in 2003. "Calling All Angels" reached the #1 spot on Billboard's Adult Alternative Rock singles chart, for a total of nine weeks. Other singles from the album were: "When I Look To The SKy" and "Get To Me." Formed in 1993, and led by singer Pat Monahan, they have released their albums beginning in 1998, and are still recording. Their latest album was released in 2026, Mad Dog In The Fog, their twelfth studio album. Their peak years were from their first album in 1998, to their sixth album, in 2012.
    Their #1 hit leads off the album - "Calling All Angels." It's a great Rock song, and certainly earning the #1 spot. "All American Girl" is another rocker for Train, where "When I Look To The Sky" (another hit) is slowed down then the previous two tracks, and if you're familiar with this sound by Train, it's another great track for them. Likewise the same can be said for the next track "Save The Day" - very good Rock tracks. The title track has a somewhat Smashing Pumpkins feel, yet it's another very good Train track. "Get To Me" (third hit) keeps the groove, with it's Rock/Pop, Train-style.
    More of the Train Rock/Pop style, "Counting Airplanes" is another great Train track. "Following Rita" keeps the album at top-notch very good Rock/Pop songs. Rock Alternative gets the style on "Your Every Color." "Lincoln Avenue" is more mellow, Pop sounding, maybe fitting the Adult Contemporary format, It's another great tune. "I'm About To Come Alive" is another mellow-driven track. Ending the album is an alternative version of "When I Look To The Sky," (bonus track). If you like their hit "Drops Of Jupiter" you'll enjoy this hit as well.
    Pop, Rock, Alternative has Train's My Private Nation. A great assortment of Rock music, and the style is what we need to hear more of, in the 21st Century. Train is a great band, blending Rock, Pop, and Alternative for all Rock music fans. They may have reached their peak with their first six albums, yet they have continued to record and tour. Give My Private Nation a listen. It's great styles of Rock, Pop and Alterntative. Great Train tracks throughout. There isn't a bad track anywhere.
