Train Music!

[sphinxsix]

First, kind of a very humble tribute to the authors of the above fantastic posts @christopher3393 and @Iving - one more version of this great song.

 

 

And now let's move to some yodeling, since the 2020 Easter has just been announced the first Yodeling Easter

The Brian Setzer Orchestra - Trouble Train ...

 

Thanks for this, I have very few rockabilly recordings ('Built for Speed' from Acoustic Sounds in DSD ) and I didn't know his orchestra recordings at all. "The Dirty Boogie" sounds just awesome!

Brilliant! ... love that Jimmie R explains how he can get more women than a passenger train can haul.

Me too!

I'm glad I know now that this is the first Yodeling Easter. Can't wait to tell my wife. Might do it Jimmie-style.

I hope to hear her here.!

Red Army Choir: Echelon's Song

Since you've just reminded me I actually once went to Moscow by train..

Well I knew somebody would ask this question. I need to blend in a couple of caveats. First - I am an impoverished individual roiling in the twilight zone between pasture and pensionable retirement. Second - what if the world and his wife signed up? ... so I must be careful of setting a reckless precedent.

 

So my proposal is this:

- $0.01 for sticking to them or topic - it must be you and you must be a member of AS - it must be a video - it must be Train Music - you must be playing a guitar - and you must be the performer - you yourself and not an impersonator or impostor - so that's 1c already;

- between $0.99 and $9.99 for quality of performance - entirely at my own discretion. The criterion is mojo. If you give me appreciable goosebumps, I shall tender the full amount;

- a bonus of $1 if you do good train rhythm section without additional accompaniment.

 

In the final analysis, I figure that you would do something like this purely out of love - or for music's sake if nothing else. So I would be pretty surprised if anybody really expected me to pay. I mean come on. We are all here for love and music right? Only the purest of motives can satisfy. We all know that in our innermost selves. Let's be the best that we can be.

 

🙂

 

I need some time (and possibly my lawyer) to analyze this proposal..

I've heard some here complaining on 'lame' posts by some participants. I actually think that such judgment may be a little offensive to them..

I personally haven't seen any lame posts especially any lame yodeling posts on this awesome thread. In fact IMO no yodeling is lame!  

 

So please complainers - lighten up and keep cool - bad things will surely pass (good ones too, BTW..) 

 

Now let's go back to some good train music 

 

 

 

Probably my favorite one of these three: Metal Crows - Heavy-Metal группа из Пензы. Cover на песню Ozzy Osbourne - Crazy Train.

'Get into the car, We'll be the passenger..'

A car is different from a train. At least in most countries.

The Passenger written about watching the world roll out behind glass on Berlin's S-Bahn train, "The Passenger" has since become a counter-cultural anthem. Recorded at the legendary Hansa Studios by the Berlin Wall while Iggy Pop was in self-imposed exile in the divided city, the song featured on 1977's "Lust for Life" album, which would propel the former frontman of The Stooges to commercial success.

 

The lyrics were allegedly written by Iggy Pop on a city train. 

 

Quote

Get into the car
We'll be the passenger
We'll ride through the city tonight
See the city's ripped backsides
We'll see the bright and hollow sky
We'll see the stars that shine so bright
The sky was made for us tonight

 

It'a car song. End of discussion

I think it's high time to reactivate this train music thread 

 

The earliest known example of "This Train" is a recording by Florida Normal and Industrial Institute Quartette (barber-shop act who sang the song a cappella) from 1922, under the title "Dis Train".[3] Another one of the earliest recordings of the song is the version made by Wood's Blind Jubilee Singers in August 1925 under the title "This Train Is Bound for Glory". Between 1926 and 1931, three other black religious groups recorded it. During a visit to the Parchman Farm state penitentiary in Mississippi in 1933, Smithsonian Institution musicologist John A. Lomax and his son Alan made a field recording of the song by black inmate Walter McDonald. The next year the song found its way into print for the first time in the Lomaxes' American Folk Songs and Ballads anthology and was subsequently included in Alan Lomax's 1960 anthology Folk Songs of North America.[2]

In 1935, the first hillbilly recording of the song was released by Tennessee Ramblers as "Dis Train" in reference to the song's black roots.[2] Then in the late 1930s, after becoming the first black artist to sign with a major label, gospel singer and guitarist Sister Rosetta Tharpe recorded "This Train" as a hit for Decca. Her later version of the song, released by Decca in the early 1950s, featured Tharpe on electric guitar and is cited[by whom?] as one of several examples of her work that led to the emergence of rock 'n roll.

In 1955, the song, with altered lyrics, became a popular single for blues singer-harmonica player Little Walter Jacobs as "My Babe". This secular adaptation has since become a rock standard recorded by many artists, including Dale Hawkins, Bo Diddley, Cliff Richard (three times), and the Remains.
