notes

Charleston band, Sol Driven Train, is breaking out of the bar-band niche with a new children’s album, Tajar Tracks, due for release in early December. The album was recorded this past summer at Camp Gwynn Valley in Brevard, NC where most of the band members spent the summer working. Pianist Debbie Debord, the camp musician for nearly 30 years, is highlighted on the album as well as the voices of many campers who sang into the microphone for producer Joel Timmons. The 16 tracks were recorded over the course of the summer with Debord’s virtuosic piano playing providing the foundation for most of the songs. Though blind since birth, Debord has faithfully played the piano every summer for evening campfires and daytime sing-a-longs at Camp Gwynn Valley, negotiating the gravel trails through the camp property with a cane and remarkable ear. The tracks selected for inclusion on the album include some of Debord’s original songs as well as many old camp favorites.

  • Tajar Tracks CD made a great Easter basket treat for my daughter
    author: Somer Case

    Because I am a fan of Sol Driven Train and they contributed on this album, I decided to purchase this cd for my daughter. My husband and I were both pleased to listen to the nature inspired lyrics of unfamiliar songs as well as the unique twists placed on those songs that were familiar to us. My 21 month old daughter seems pleased with the cd too, playing along to the tracks with her toy xylophone. She now says at least one name of a shape clearly thanks to the "Circle Song." My family looks forward to hearing more from the Gwynn Valley Campers in the future.

  • "Best Album for Children from a Local Band" Charleston City Paper Best of 2006
    author: Charleston City Paper

    Best Album For Children from a Local Band Tajar Tracks by Sol Driven Train The guys in local ensemble Sol Driven Train are well-known among fans for their musical versatility. But local fans can be forgiven if they didn't expect them to release a kid's sing-a-long album titled Tajar Tracks last fall. Most of the members of the Charleston roots-groove band spent the summer working with a few dozen teenagers at Camp Gwynn Valley in Brevard, N.C. During their stay, they recorded a top-quality collection of original, upbeat, family-friendly tunes featuring vocal performances from camp kids as well as piano work from longtime camp staffer Debbie Debord. —T.
