While I was out on my 20 mile bike ride this morning both of those songs were rolling around in my head at one time or another. I kind of keep a cadence with my peddling set to music.
Ozzy Osbourne. "Crazy Train" You just can't rock the rails harder than that. All Aboard! Hahahaha....!
Of course "City of New Orleans" by Arlo Guthrie and "I Like Trains" by Fred Eaglesmith. I had a chance to help my son do sound for one of Fred Eaglesmith's concerts in Ft Worth. He does quite a few train songs. He also does a concert swing through narrow gauge territory in Colorado when on tour.
I have several favorites but,I always liked these two the best. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbzc77Tz6PA&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQ_xj3aDjWU
There are some good songs listed here! I'm trying to expand my RR songs playlist so keep 'em coming guys!
wow, tough call.... Gerry Mulligan, "K4 Pacific", "Nights at the Roundtable" R.E.M. "Driver 8" Johnny Otis, "Frieght Train Boogie", " Gonna Take a Train" Louie Jordan, "Choo Choo Ch'Boogie" Louie Prima, "Whistle Stop"
"Two Trains Runnin'" by the Blues Project is a bit obscure. "White Room" by Cream has the line "restless diesel," which paints a great scene with just two words.
Train train by Blackfoot is a GREAT one! Followed by Hank Snow Movin on,Golden Rocket,and others. FFV is a favorite of mine,Wreck of the ole 97, Casey Jones Grateful dead ( however I have never been high on cocaine while running thank you very much) I had an album of railroad songs from the Smithsonian I think it was? Train 45 was the first song adn thats a great old classic. Need some of these for an ipod....but not on the train
Here's a newer rock song called 3 Lights from a German band RPWL (it's in English) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZtiYL3564I
I Sell a Lot of "Good and Plenty" Sooooooooooo, "Choo Choo Charlie, was an engineer, Choo choo Charlie really rings a bell". Ok, not my fav but, runs through my head a lot at work. A few of my customers won't admit to knowing what I am talking about. Ok, who can tell me what song refers to: 2:10, 6:18, 10:44? Without looking it up? I have to admit that is in an off way my favortite.
The old Motown standard as covered Grand Funk Railroad, Locomotion. They even have a train like name for their band.
Me, I'm more partial to Charlie Daniels' Orange Blossom Special. He also did one called Midnight Train about a train robbery, which is a fun one.
