Editorial review

Last Train Home kicks off Last Good Kiss with the title cut, a hard luck tale of love gone stale. The band--lead vocalist Eric Brace, bassist Jim Gray, drummer Martin Lynds, guitarist Steve Wedemeyer, keyboardist Jen Gunderman, and trumpeter Kevin Cordt--rocks hard here with a guitar sound reminiscent of the Outlaws. The mid-tempo "Flood" sustains the somber mood with a soulful chorus and lots of heavy percussion to underline the brooding pace. Brace sings well, delivering these sad songs with easy confidence, and is equally comfortable with both harder country rock and ballads. The arrangements ease a bit on "Anywhere But Here," a downbeat ballad propped up by gentle keyboards and plenty of acoustic guitar. In other places, the arrangements are bolstered by accordion ("Can't Come Undone") and trumpet ("Kissing Booth"). Most of the songs on Last Good Kiss are fairly long (near four minutes or longer), but Last Train Home plays well as a unit, holding the tension together even when songs like "May" stretch out to seven minutes. The songwriter runs deep on Last Good Kiss, with enjoyable (if downbeat) fare like "Marking Time" showing up on the next to last track. Well-written and performed, Last Good Kiss is a fine display of Last Train Home's talents. ~ Ronnie D. Lankford, Jr., All Music Guide

Bio / Background

Decisively stepping out from under the alt-country/Americana umbrella with Last Good Kiss, Last Train Home asserts itself as a powerful rock band. The songs on this release put frontman Eric Brace's songwriting in another league since his move to Nashville in 2003. After 10 years of making music, this formidable roots rock band has made the best album of its career, with solos by Steve Wedemeyer (guitars) and Jen Gunderman (keyboards, accordian) and rhythms by Jim Gray (bass) and Martin Lynds (drums, percussion).

Here's what the Washington Post has to say about it:

"Last Train Home is based in Nashville these days, but the band travels so much it might seem that frontman Eric Brace would be hard-pressed to keep coming up with first-rate songs between tour stops. Apparently, that's not a problem. If anything, "Last Good Kiss" suggests that as far as the quality of Brace's songwriting is concerned, the more road work the better.

Consider the album's opening and title track.
