Prog Report Playlist – Big Big Train

Big Big Train band members November 2014 hi res e1467772417959

A look at some of the best Big Big Train songs.

Wassail (from the EP Wassail and album Folklore)

This track was originally released on an EP in 2015 as a precursor for what Folklore would be.  It also has the prestige of being one a few songs written about an apple tree.

 

Folklore (from the album Folklore)

A brilliant statement for the band as they take their music to another level.  The symphonic opening sets the stage and the band rock from their.  This is one of their best.

 

Winkie (from the album Folklore)

It is hard to pull just one more song to feature from an album full of great songs, but there is just something unique and special about this track that tells the story about a pigeon that saves soldiers during war times.

A Mead Hall in Winter (from the album Grimspound)

The longest track from Grimspound is also the album’s most elaborate and diverse track, with a number of changes and outstanding moments.

 

The Second Brightest Star (from the album The Second Brightest Star)

The haunting gem from a collection of mostly leftover tracks from the Grimspound recordings is a great track focusing largely on David Longdon’s incredible vocals.
