Train songs
I have a thing for train songs. A lately acquired taste (not an acquired taste).
Point the ear to that train lover Erik West-Millette's album : West Trainz

Re: Train songs
Thanks for the intro T - I wish that I was going to the Montreal Jazz festival this year, I'd love to hear this live. I found a link to the West Trainz album and so far have liked everything I've clickedTchocolatl wrote:I have a thing for train songs. A lately acquired taste (not an acquired taste).

I love that!Happiness is like learning the violin, the more you practice it the more it comes to you ~~ Me
a very Canadian one

Re: Train songs
Thanks Cate! I put those words together when I was so pleased to begin studying the violin. I try to practice both it and happiness each and every day
Here’s some more train songs lurking in my media player. It has truly surprised me that I have so many! But then I do have a very eclectic range of songs from classical to rock! Train songs seem to be about hellos and goodbyes and all the destination life-stops in-between on the journey.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwB2A9HHaCU
500 miles ~ Peter, Paul & Mary
(I also have this on an old vinyl LP)
This song is credited to Hedy West and is also called "Railroader's Lament"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExMGEuvl9R8
Casey’s Last Ride ~ Kris Kristofferson
Season 1 True Detective
(I have John Denver’s cover version)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CcRsxsjUUAY
Downtown Train ~ Bob Seger's cover of a Tom Waits song
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7z9wd9bS1FM
Homeward Bound ~ Simon & Garfunkel
(Paul Simon wrote this on Widnes train station, England)
