ABOUT THE RECORD Still Life (Talking), by Pat Metheny Group, won the Grammy Award for Best Jazz Fusion Performance and was certified gold by the RIAA on July 2, 1992. This was the Group's first album to be released by Geffen. It combines Brazilian jazz-influenced harmonies and rhythms with jazz, folk, and pop. It remains one of the Pat Metheny Group's most popular albums, the first to sell over 500,000 copies and therefore certified gold by the RIAA. Most of the album's songs continued to be played by the Group in concert long after the album's original release, especially, Minuano (Six-Eight). Last Train Home was used in a Christmas commercial by the Florida-based supermarket chain Publix, featuring relatives traveling to Florida by train for Christmas. Metheny jokingly refers to the piece as The Publix Song when performing in Florida, as the commercial aired every holiday season from 1987 to 1996. The NPR radio show Radio Deluxe with John Pizzarelli uses the tune as its closing theme. In 2015, the song served as the end theme of the anime adaptation JoJo's Bizarre Adventure during the second half of the show's Stardust Crusaders arc, and it later became the focus of Essential Collection Last Train Home, a JoJo-themed compilation album for the Pat Metheny Group. The composition has also been featured during The Weather Channel's Local on the 8s playlist since the late 1980s. The retail bedding manufacturer Sleep Train, which operates primarily in California, used the track for their television commercials.
