  Blue Train (album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Blue Train is a jazz album by John Coltrane, released in 1957 (see 1957 in music.) It is considered by many to be Coltrane's first "true" solo album, the first he recorded featuring musicians and songs entirely of his choosing.
The title track is a long, rhythmically variegated blues with a brooding minor theme that gradually shifts to major during Coltane's first chorus.
Blue Train remains an extremely popular disc, and during a 1960 interview Coltrane described it as his favorite album of his own up to that point ("that or Soultrane")

Although blues music was clearly an important part of the cultural landscape of the southern United States by the early 1900s, it was largely unnoticed until W. Handy published such songs as “Memphis Blues” (1912) and “St. Louis Blues” (1914).
The earliest brands of blues were first recorded in the years before World War II in two quite different settings—from professional artists in urban environments (primarily in the North), and from musicians in rural areas (primarily in the South).
By the late 1940s, many Chicago blues musicians were playing electric guitars, had added drums and saxophones to their ensembles, and had started to use microphones to amplify the harmonica (harp), piano, and upright bass.

 Reviews of Scott Weiland | 12 Bar Blues and Mike Watt | Contemplating the Engine Room
When 12 Bar Blues was released, Weiland claimed to have been clean for a year: then came his drug bust in June 1998 at a housing project in New York City, which derailed his tour in support of the album.
The album is constantly changing, as "Where's the Man" has a contemplative ballad feel (Weiland says he wrote half of the songs on 12 Bar Blues while he was still using), and "Divider" has a cool, bossa nova feel.
The disc is styled as a concept album, tracing twenty-four hours in the lives of three men in the engine room of a large naval vessel.

12 Bar Blues is an unpredictable, carnivalesque record confirming that Weiland was the visionary behind STP's sound.
When I first ever heard the album title, "12 Bar Blues," I had a blues album in mind.
When I first listened to it, I heard my CD skipping in the middle of a track, and I figured that it was just part of the album, because alot of material on it sounds like it, but it turns out it was not, it was just skipping after all.

In shedding his STP skins, Weiland created a confessional album that reveals the singer's confusion, aspirations and self-indulgence hidden in a glut of distortion and synth.
Undoubtedly, the album's heavy Bowie and Beatles influences are the pulse behind the record's soon-to-collapse veins.
The unexpected is a key element of "12 Bar Blues." The album's mid-verse genre switches and deliberately random sounds, conversations and beats qualify it as ear candy, leaving different listeners - after multiple listenings - with a different take on the album.

 Scott Weiland - 12 Bar Blues   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Weiland, now supposedly cleansed of the big H, has released his own album outside of the Pilots entitled 12 Bar Blues, a collection of disjointed songs in which he bears not only his soul but seems to exorcise some of the personal demons that have been tormenting him throughout the past few years.
Uneven and unpredictable 12 Bar Blues is at the same time appealing in it's unexpected nature.
The album is heavy with the canned rhythm of a beat box which Weiland plays himself and ends up sounding like Gary Numan on the cold, synth-heavy "Desperation # 5".
