Since the very birth of the blues, the train has been a source of great inspiration for musicians. From the steam engine imitation tunes of pioneering harmonica players to wonderful variations on classic folk songs, this collection highlights how the railroad helped shape the blues.
Lovingly remastered using pioneering restoration techniques. An album which highlights how the railroad has been an enduring presence and central influence on the blues.
Includes seminal recordings by the blues harmonica players DeFord Bailey & Eddie Mapp. The railroad provided a great source of lyrical potential for separation and loss.
