Kevin Morby is a songwriter who can create intense moods: The music of previous albums "Harlem River" and last year's "Singing Saw" ranged from relaxed to jittery to haunting -- sometimes within a single song.
Morby's tone is nostalgic but upbeat on "Aboard My Train" -- a single off the forthcoming LP "City Music." The song's narrator reflects on a long romantic history of "many faces, many places" with exuberance and delight. Morby's band adds a summery folk-rock groove to complement his playful vocals.
Kevin Morby performs Aug. 25 at Downtown Artery and Aug. 26 at Globe Hall. Check out our Inside Track feature with Morby.
