AnotherSpin Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Turns out the train theme is still dragging its long tail! Okay, it's hard to understand the interest in finding obscure blues artists, especially since the train theme is present permanently in this genre, and hundreds if not thousands of examples can be found without much difficulty. Why not turn to truly great musicians, such as Grateful Dead. Mentioned Casey Jones already. What else we could find? I Know You Rider: ”I wish I was a headlight on a north bound train..." Beat It Down a Line: “I’ll be waiting at the station, Lord, when that train pulls on by" That's It for the Other One: “Perhaps I'll take the very next train." New Speedway Boogie: ”This train goes slow." Truckin’: “and the train goes slow." Tennessee Jed: ”Listen to the whistle of the evening train." Jack Straw: “First train we can ride." They Love Each Other: “And when the train rolls in” Might As Well: “Long train running from coast to coast” Terrapin: “but the train put its brakes on” Tons of Steel: “She’s more a roller coaster than a train I used to know” Lazy River: “Bright blue boxcars train by train” Iving 1 Link to comment

For me, sharing/celebration of "great musicians" is just under half the fun with these Theme threads. What's just over half is the discovery of something amazing I didn't already know. I'm still reeling with gratitude to Tom aka @DuckToller for Dead Moon's "Walking On My Grave" [cf. Moon Music thread]. I'm not sure Dead Moon are by all accounts "great musicians", but they sure got my mojo working 😉 DuckToller 1 Link to comment
