Grainville Train – New Hand to Hold
The great country songs have always understood one fundamental truth about human longing: that we are most nakedly ourselves not in our moments of triumph, but in the quiet, trembling instant when we reach out toward another person and hope, desperately, that they reach back. Grainville Train, arriving with the kind of unhurried confidence that only genuine artistic conviction can manufacture, have grasped this with both hands — quite literally, given the sun-drenched romanticism of their artwork — and produced a single that deserves to be heard on wide open roads and in the small, bruised hours of the morning alike.
