So today let us revisit trains; I know it has been done before but there are so many. Post songs about anything related to trains. If there are songs about trams, streetcars, or subways, please post the those too. I looked into it a bit because I wondered about why others thought there was so many songs about trains and railroads. Sister Rosetta Tharpe showed up first: This Train Then there was the song that my fourth grade teacher would not allow us to play during a class party. Either she did not want us to consider train travel (mTaybe she had oil company investments) or she was overwhelmed by visions of what might go on in the cloakroom if we took the song to heart: The Locomotion-Grands Funk Railroad And John Henry is legend; some interpretations would likely have led my fourth grade teacher to frown a bit. There are many versions (post your favoriite). Van Morrison's version of John Henry: J.J. Cale's delivery is always smooth. Lonesome Train: I am have spent most of my life on the US west coast and so I saw many trains of the Southern Pacific. Neil Young: Trains have been a subject of songs for decades-there are tons of them. Share why you think this is so (or not). Please recommend, discuss, follow rules and finally the caboose: have fun!
