"Bourbon Jones was originally founded in 1993 by Long Beach residents Chris Hanlin, Mario Barmosca, Mikey Meyer and Anthony Arvisu. After touring extensively throughout the Midwest, deep South, and West Coast, the band settled into a now legendary four year Sunday afternoon residency at the Blue Cafe in Long Beach. Over the years, many musicians came to sit in: Rocco DeLucca, Hook Herrera, Bernie Pearl, Guitar Wooten, legendary Louisiana harpist Lazy Lester, and many former members of such bands as War, the Blasters, Fiona Apple, and the James Harman band.
The whole thing started with me and Barmosca. It was 1992, and I had just moved back down to Long Beach after a disastrous relationship up in LA. I had no band, no girl, no car, and few friends. For awhile I slept on people's couches until I could get an apartment. I was really starting over. All this made me pretty depressed. I wanted to make music, but I didn’t know what direction to take. I really just wanted to play some blues.
We were 4 years into making music the Bourbon Jones way when the idea of doing a 'gospel' record was introduced. Barmosca grabbed the bull by the balls and threw us all aboard The Glory Train. Approximately 1year in songwriting and rehearsing (mostly the 5 hours gig every Sunday at The Blue Cafe) with production guidance by Stephen Hodges readied us for a long day of tracking at Capitol Studio B. Fourteen songs were tracked live in a ten hour session, a couple of overdubs and mixing for a few days at Jabbz in Long Beach and here you have it. Far from being a religious record Glory Train is in the tradition of Alan Lomax, a musical journey to the promised land" ~  Chris Hanlin/
