Train Themed Tunes

[Del.Monte]

Always thought of emailing John Creedon or the like requesting a programme devoted to train related songs - there are surely enough of them and some quite good - others not.

One of the earliest that comes to mind is the "Chattanooga Choo Choo" is a 1941 song first performed by Glen Millar.

[Del.Monte]

Johnny Cash - Folsom Prison Blues (1955) is another classic.

[Del.Monte]

"The Orange Blossom Special" (1938) and made popular by a variety of of artists including Johnny Cash.

Megadeth - Train of Consequences

Porcupine Tree - Trains

[Del.Monte]

"Railroad" (1971) in the days before Status Quo went down the pop road.

[Del.Monte]

And another powerful one "Locomotive Breath" (1971) by Jethro Tull.

[Del.Monte]

"Long Train Running" the Doobie Brothers way back in the 1970s.

[Del.Monte]

"Spanish Train" by Chris de Burgh - great song but I don't like the man since he closed down my old school.

[765489]

Ozzy Osborne- Crazy Train

[765489]

Eric Sardinas - Devil's Train (one more after this and I'm out)

[Del.Monte]

"Travellin in Style" (1973) by Free.

[765489]

Joe Satriani - A Train of Angels ( Instrumental )

[Del.Monte]

"City of New Orleans" (1971) this version by Arlo Guthrie. I'm out too - for now.

[765489]

One for you Del. Edit just thinking Eamonn Ryan would have a heart attack if he saw that video

Pat Metheny - Last Train Home. He's a couple of different variations of this song.

[765489]

"City of New Orleans" (1971) this version by Arlo Guthrie. I'm out too - for now.

Great video and song.

[Del.Monte]

"I'm A Train" 1970s by Albert Hammond.

[Osciiboscii]

[Mr Daniel F. O'Leary]

"Train running low on soul coal" by XTC. IMO, this acoustic version is better than the one on the album.

[Fratello]

Boxcar Willie

[Del.Monte]

Boxcar Willie

Didn't poor old Boxcar get his big break with Westrail (Tuam) in June 1986?

[Cyclepath]

Gun Club's Black Train:

While the song might be interpreted as racist, JLP himself wasn't but often used a character 'voice'. He was deeply immersed in southern gospel, psychobilly, and blues.

[Del.Monte]

Not sure that posts from someone called Cyclepath should be allowed in this thread but it's better than Greenway - I suppose!
