Very positive... ...lyric, Maurice. Nice ride that just chugs along at an even pace. You sing this with a real ease that translates well to the comfort level of listeners. ... Only suggestion I'd make would be to move up the chorus with a bit more melodic tune and an augmented instrumentation, maybe a keychange or modulation to a related key: something to give your refrain some special zip. ... Really enjoyed this number. Peace. Paul |

Getting on Board You're so right about Spirit in the Sky. I'm so glad you brought it up or I might have been sitting here for a long time trying to figure out, "now what does Maurice's song remind me of?" It's one of my favorite songs, so I'm pretty much guaranteed to like yours, too. :-) Of course, your song is its own thing. I'm wondering about how you wrote this, whether the music followed the lyrics or vice versa, because there's definitely a nice marriage between the two. The music is very evocative of a train chugging down the tracks and I really love the vibe of the way you're singing it. You sound really comfortable and I love any lyrics that say "spread a little love and laughter if we can." Also, I have to say I enjoyed reading your new biography on your main page. I remember reading some of that before, but it seems as though there's more detail now. |

Yeah very 'Spirit in the Sky' - and very nicely put together. Takes me back to 1970! I thought when I saw the title it was going to be about Eurostar! All the best Peter |

Rumblin' Rails! One of those rare songs that has to be danced on the stairs. I hate dancing, but my legs are now burning! Definite keeper, Maurice. Loved every beat. Loved every word! Terry. |

Hey Maurice What a cool tune. Is that a slide guitar in there? We must stop and enjoy the ride on the train. The destination is secondary. Most of us are too concerned about where they are headed, and miss the scenery. I love you vocals & Harmonies bravo t |

It just keeps Rockin' along That train just keep on rolling along on the way through life. I really like this Maurice, thanks for sharing it with us. The spirit of MJ Woodstock is alive and well in Wigan I can see. Be well my friend Ed |

Cool Like the "train" beat. Your voice is popping to the beat. The leads give the song a modern sound, but come close enough to the idea of train whistles to keep the mood of the beat. Toe Tapping fun! Thanks Bill |

This one rocked big time! Vox was silky smooth as usual but how you worked those guitars together - masterfully done! |

Definitely... ..."Spirit in the Sky" vibes, here. If he'd played Woodstock, this could have easily been on his set list...nice, M |

Could smell the incense smoldering from here. Great vibe- very authentic... the bonus was that it also had a great beat and you could dance to it. Nice song! |

Great chugging track Love songs that move along like this, and - as others have mentioned - there is a great marriage of lyric and music on this. It had my head bopping as I listened. Great sounds, good lyrics and nice arrangement. Very cool. Nicely done. Peace. |

Choo Choo!! All Aboard! Very nice Maurice. You always do an exceptional job. I know that when I see your name on a song that I am in for a treat and this is another great treat. You have a wonderful way of writing that is always so inspirational. I admire that very much. Thanks Maurice for sharing this with us. Best to you and yours! |

Get on that DREAM TRAIN! This is your best yet Mo, way to go. Get on board boy let's catch that train n'get on. Whoo-hooooo. |

There aint' no stopn' this train... Hunky big bawlsy down and dirty rockn' blues! If there were such a genre, then man, you nailed it Maurice. i like the, "don't look back", raw steadily driving force of movement behind this. I did kinda feel a need to grab for a tambourine, though. And not that it's missing cause, I wanted to play it but, live action, right here where I listen. Good one! Thanks! Dion |

runnin on gold Maurice, nice bluesey jam. Your voice sits nice in the pocket and the music strikes a nice 'i'm a travelin' vibe. |

Authentic This seems so authentic in the genre. If you knock out the sound of the present day instrumentation, this sounds like it's right out of the mid to late 1800's America, religious communities of old. Sure you weren't around then........just kidding. Your voice really helps to create that imagery. Nice job. |

Wow! Your best yet Maurice! Great tune with loads of DRIVE. Really nice vocals throughout. Kudos my man! Be well! |

Finally got here Maurice! First, the instrumentation sounds great - especially like the drums you're using Maurice. The "lo-fi" mic sounds perfect on this as someone has mentioned. A key change/chord change (whichever) would have added to the groove and lifted the tune. An enjoyable listen indeed. Neil |

The one and only Mo Nice chugging music, Mo! I do notice the improvement in the quality of the vocal recording. It is not muffled and your new mic does bring a new sparkle to the voice. I really love the vibe of this song. Man, you are really moving into new territory in every song. Always something new.. brave and surprising. Thumbs up. |

Norman has nothing on you Maurice! Great rocker my friend. Lyrics, orchestration, singing including harmonies, the whole works are spot on. So when are you touring Canada? And thanks for the new tune for my iPod :o) Be well, Doug |



































makes it on over to Woodstock. The rhythm and lyrics pepped me up. Nice harmony, too. :-)
