    CD comes with lyric book and recycled cardboard "It's a mesmerizing album and a trip that everyone should take." Jamie Parmenter Vinylchapters
    “ Sleeping Buffalo sets a solemn melodic mood to open what quickly becomes rocking. The driving boogie of Jerkwater Town snarls while Climbing Table Mountain just pulses with a jazzy undertone. Braun has really great phrasing, smoothly rolling over her varied material.” Stuart Derdeyn The Vancouver Sun.



    Through Train Windows is a distinctly Canadian musical mosaic that will send the listener on a journey they will want to take again and again.” Mariko Margetson UK's largest Folk Publication Folk Radio and Vandela Magazine



    "Braun injects a breezy, bluesy cool into the realm of folk narration.” Jonathan Frahm - For Folks Sake

    “Her voice has the viscosity of a jazz crooner, the elegance of a gospel singer, and the heart of a blues artist.” Bryan Rogers

    “a bluesy artist with a siren’s voice. To say I could listen to Braun sing all day would be an understatement. There’s a kind of raw power to her soulful voice.” - Robert Ottone JustPressPlay Review

    An imaginative display of fine musicianship, potent vocals and heartfelt lyrics, talent like hers doesn't exactly come around too often." - Kevin Sellers Music Emission

lyrics

Through Train Windows

Through train windows riding
Through train windows ride the steel
Through Train windows rolling
Through train windows roll the wheels

On this journey what will steal the show?
Will you be first or the last to know?
Leave them guessing when you have to go
Itinerant, itinerant

On this voyage will you sacrifice?
For love or beauty you must name your price
Built for comfort not for speed that’s right
Magnificent, magnificent

Panoramic odyssey delights
From simple pleasures to the grand excites
Leave them wanting more when you ignite
Don’t say goodbye, Let’s sing all night

Take the trek to where you want to be
Don’t wait too long you won’t miss misery
Time is now I know that you’ll agree
It’s cosmic sent, Divine Intent

On Citadel hill I found the will
Demoiselle still I lifted the resting laurels
Compelled by morals the paradox quarrels
Thinking, shrinking how my life is a choral coral
Foolproof hypothesis has built this acropolis
Through disproof and self-confidence I see oppositeness
Playing The Carleton a charlatan steeped in sub-consciousness
Finding meaning our hearts convening
Insightful blinding not seeing yet speaking while twisted tongues
Let out air of gasping lungs watching the self outrun
This uncertainty
That no one knows for sure
The ones who think they do perverse
For I can never know all of me
Consciously
But this third class relic will play, dance, learn, live and love
Keep my innocence above
And ride the wheels of destiny
©Norine Braun

about

Norine Braun Vancouver, British Columbia

Her signature funky folk-blues sound simply cannot be matched. Best listened to as loud as your neighbours will tolerate. Abortmag

Her music sounds like the union of Nick Cave with Patti Smith & City and Colour deep in the Canadian forests.
