Sammy Kershaw - Feelin' Good Train
Feelin' Good Train is the fourth album released by Sammy Kershaw, and like his previous works, the quality in the songs is spectacular and they sound as if they were hand picked to be performed by him.
A song about all of the working women needing a holiday, the uptempo "National Working Woman's Holiday" went all the way to number two on the Billboard charts, while "Southbound" landed at twenty-seven. Sammy's cover of The Amazing Rhythm Aces' "Third Rate Romance" almost topped the charts at number two. George Jones joins in on the fun duet, "Never Bit A Bullet Like This."
Sammy Kershaw sounds a lot like George Jones, sure, but there is a distinction once you listen a bit more to his material. Even if Sammy sang a rock and roll song, there is no way it would not sound anything but country, and that is saying something about some of today's singers. In 1994, when this album was released, there was something unique about each artist and they were not so "interchangable." Feelin' Good Train showcases that good ole country feel and makes a listener want to listen to it many times over.
