Train steams ahead with new album, tour

Pop-rockers Train are set to return from a three-year recording hiatus with the release of their new album, "For Me, It's You," which the band will support on a tour beginning in March.

The outing kicks off March 16 in San Francisco, the first of four consecutive nights in Train's hometown, all at The Fillmore. The spring tour will continue on through early May with stops across North America.

The band has also lined up a number of promotional television appearances along the way, including a Feb. 3 performing slot on CBS's "Late Show with David Letterman," a March 6 appearance on NBC's "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" and a March 14 performance on NBC's "Last Call With Carson Daly."

"For Me, It's You," which hit stores Tuesday (1/31), is the band's fifth studio album, and first since 2003's "My Private Nation." The album was recorded over a seven week period last year in Atlanta, with producer Brendan O'Brien (Bruce Springsteen, Pearl Jam) at the controls.

O'Brien has worked with Train before, on both "My Private Nation" and 2001's "Drops of Jupiter."

"For Me, It's You" features the band's new lineup, shuffled a bit since Train released its last album. Bassist Johnny Colt replaces Charlie Colin, and keyboardist Brandon Bush was brought in to augment the band's sound.
