I spent the better part of this morning on itunes creating a playlist of songs about trains. I think it was time well spent. Here's what I came up with...
Love Train 2:58 The O'Jays
Crazy Train 4:50 Ozzy Osbourne
Night Train 3:31 James Brown
Train, Train 3:34 Blackfoot
Midnight Train to Georgia 4:39 Gladys Knight & The Pips
Peace Train 4:14 Cat Stevens
Folsom Prison Blues 2.48 Johnny Cash
Old Train 2:23 Original Seldom Scene
Dry the Rain 6:05 The Beta Band The Three EP's
Rain rhymes with train.
Not a bad bunch of music. I guess writing songs about trains brings out the highest level of creative integrity - probably because of the august history of the train song. It's like writing a sonnet, or an epic.
