Do ‘Cowboy Dreams’ come true? Country band John Train’s new horse opera is inspired by Philly riding culture

PHILADELPHIA — Have Jon Houlon’s cowboy dreams come true?

The songwriter who leads the Philadelphia country-and-folk-rock band John Train recently released "Cowboy Dreams," the sextet’s first album in a decade and first ever issued on vinyl. It’s spurred by Jodi Houlon’s — Jon’s wife — love of riding on the streets of Philadelphia and trails of Fairmount Park.

The 10-song set is a horse opera, a collection of songs by Houlon and his songwriting heroes that have an equine connection.
