Torrent description

Hi,

In my opinion, this is truly a classic album! I put this in the rock section but there is plenty of country/folk influence on it.

Here is a little Bio on Mack Mackenzie. He is the creative mind and founding member of Three O'clock Train.

Mack MacKenzie

Born in Lincoln, Maine, Mack MacKenzie is of native Micmac, Scottish, Irish, Dutch and French ancestry. Shortly after his family moved to Montreal in the early 1970s, Mack took an interest in music, starting with the guitar at age eight. By the time he reached fourteen, he was playing in his first band and writing songs.

It was in 1985 that Mack's best-known band, Three O'Clock Train, first recorded their "Wigwam Beach" EP, which was followed the next year by the album "Muscle In." Fans and critics alike acclaimed both recordings. John Griffin, writing in the Montreal Gazette, wrote, "What makes Three O'Clock Train different is that Mack MacKenzie writes songs like he has to." The Montreal Mirror's Chris Yurkiw recently referred to Mack as, "perhaps the best songwriter this city has produced in the past ten years."

To this day, many cite Three O'Clock Train's influence on such successful Canadian bands as Blue Rodeo and Cowboy Junkies. The group's recordings have shown up on countless "best of" lists, and past performances are remembered fondly. Three O'Clock Train performed throughout Canada to enthusiastic acclaim, always leaving an indelible impression on those fortunate enough to have witnessed their impassioned live performances.

As a solo acoustic performer, Mack has performed at the Mariposa and Winnipeg Folk Festivals and was a featured artist for a showcase at the SxSW Music & Media Conference in Austin, Texas, and at the Bluebird Caf? in Nashville. Mack has also opened shows for such luminaries as Billy Bragg, Rick Danko, Cowboy Junkies and John Hiatt. He has performed on stage with John Prine, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, John Gorka, Los Lobos, The Leslie Spit Tree-O and Men Without Hats.



I was given permission from Mack himself to put this on a torrent site as Mack believes that everyone should have access to hearing new Music, even people who can not afford it. If you would like any more information about purchasing CD's, Vinyl albums, packages or if you would like to be added to Three O'Clock Train's mailing list then please contact : ThreeOClockTraininfo@gmail.com

There will be a Three O'clock Train website coming soon.

If you are going to share this on other Torrent sites then it would be much appreciated if you could copy and paste the bio and contact information in the description of the Torrent.

Thank you!
