The "Sugar Ditch" is John Train's third CD. It was adeptly produced by Mike 'Slo-Mo' Brenner. It is a concept album of sorts. A concept album in the sense that Randy Newman's "Good Old Boys", Terry Allen's "Lubbock on Everything" or Mickey Newbury's "Long Road Home" were concept albums. Inspired by a trip to Memphis in the heat of the summer in a rented '55 Cadillac, Jon Houlon imagined a story centered around a girl who turned-up dead in a 'sugar ditch' in a small town in the Mississippi Delta. The characters appear and reappear. The feeling is mysterious and moody. The songs stand up on their own and they go together. It is an ambitious work by a talented songwriter and treated perfectly by a band that understands.
