[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by ironhorseman I don't think I have any one favorite train song. I like 'em all. I have one of the albums Altonfan is refering to. "Mystery Train: Classic RR songs vol 2" very excellent. Johnny Cash's rendition of Casey Jones and Steve Goodman's City of New Orleans are the reason's I bought that one. But all time favorites are (as of right now) (this will change again someday of course!): 1. Orange Blossum Special - Johnny Cash version 2. City of New Orleans - 1st Steve Goodman version, 2nd CW McCall version 3. Casey Jones - Johnny Cash version 4. The Ballad of John Henry's Hammer - Johnny Cash (8min long!) 5. Steel Rails - Alison Krauss ---------------------------------------- 6. The Wabash Cannonball - by whoever. (I'm sure there's a Johnny Cash version out there) 7. Engine Engine #9 - Roger Miller 8. King of the Road - Roger Miller 9. Folsom Prison Blues - Johnny Cash (live at Folsom version) 10. Rock Island Line - Johnny Cash version (I know Johnny Horton made it famous) ---------------------------- And that's my top ten for now. I think I'm basing that on what I've played most frequently most recently. Other favorites - Train of Love by Johnny Cash, Wreck of Ol' 97, Big Rock Candy Mountain (Harrry McClintock version), City of New Orleans (Seldom Scene version a bluegrass band, heard on Appalachian Stomp vol 2) Orange Blossom Special done by the Stanley Brothers (that's some fast fiddle playin!). Oh, and before I forget, Gordon Lightfoot's Canadian Railroad Trilogy. That'd be #11 on list right now but it'll make back into my personal top 10 someday. Also there was a crazy song done by the Red Star Rangers called More Than Johnny Cash loves trains. They guy sings about how he loves his girl more than Johnny Cash loves trains. Good for laugh. I guess I should get all my CDs and tapes and audio files together and make a complete list of what I've got. PS- SLIC--> "Can't You See" was also done by Waylon Jennings. I like his version best. Why am I not surprised you picked this one? [(-D] (based on the 1st line of the song) [/quote]I forgot Waylon Had A version I found out from my dad that Waylon Jennings was one of the crickets from Buddy Holly and the crickets thats Interesting to know And no matter what I say When most people learn I was a young Hoboe they usually start singing Johhny Cash's Fulsom Prison Blues I hear that train A comin he's comin round the bend an i aint seen the sunshine since I dont know when. And lets not forget His Daughter Roseanne Cash And her Song (my baby thinks hes a train)[8D]
