Day 278, Waiting for a train

The internet is full of lists.

There are many lists of train songs.

There are even lists stating they are the "'n' best train songs".

But frankly, it's a matter of taste.

You might choose Flash and The Pan, Waiting For a Train, and fair enough it you like it.

Last Train to Clarksville by that boy band The Monkees is pretty ok.

But then there has to be a change of gear at some point, beyond the desolate platform of the commuting classes.

We can give a righteous shout out for Sister Rosetta Tharp and This Train is Bound for Glory, although I'm also very taken with the version by Big Bill Broonzy.

Of course Big Bill does another classic train song, John Henry.

There's an absolute train shed load of great tracks about trains.

However, if that list of train songs don't contain no mention of Folsom Prison Blues by Johnny Cash well heck then that list ain't worth jack shit.

No matter what your taste.

So here it is.
