The chaps at Laughing Outlaw consider this to be one of their finest releases ever, and considering they released the magisterial second Orange Humble Band album, that's really saying something. Of course, it's easy to talk the talk, because walking the walk is where you usually trip up, but they’ll get no argument from me. Taking it's inspiration from a host of classic singer-songwriters, from Costello to Elliott Murphy, The Last Ghost Train Home delivers a clutch of story-songs to rival just about any wordsmith you'd care to mention from the last 40 years, and what's more, it rocks like a fucker, too. The tragedy is that if Perry Keyes called Austin or New York home, he'd be hailed the next big thing. As it is, because he's a native of Sydney, Australia, he's going to struggle to break out and get the recognition he deserves. Do yourself a favour and make sure you don't miss out on one of the top three singer-songwriter albums of the year.
