Trip back to 'Trains'
When British psychedelic-pop wizard Robyn Hitchcock hits the stage Saturday at the Old Town School of Folk Music, he'll take fans back—all the way back—to one of his earliest solo efforts, 1984's "I Often Dream of Trains" (just re-released on Yep Roc Records). Spare but not sparse, "Trains" sparkles as a surrealistic emerald with facets that range from silly (the a cappella neurosis primer "Uncorrected Personality Traits") to scintillating (the jangling "This Could Be the Day").
