Train Play List

Somebody wanted to know what was on my train play list. Here it is. I know it’s not every train song, not even every great train song. But it does include every great train song that I have- on my ipod.

• Casey Jones, by the Grateful Dead.
  
• Mystery Train, by Elvis Presley.
  
• One After 909, by the Beatles.
  
• Driver 8, by R.E.M. I’m not actually positive that this is a train song--it’s so hard to tell with R.E.M. But since most train songs are really about something else, I think it works in any case.
  
• Crazy Train, by the Waifs.
  
• Draw Your Brakes, by an artist named Scotty, off the Harder They Come soundtrack.
  
• Folsom Prison Blues, by Johnny Cash.
  
• Midnight Train to Georgia, by the Indigo Girls. (I know, I know, but I don’t actually own the Gladys Knight version.)
  
• Peace Train, by 10,000 Maniacs. Here’s an example where I do own the original, but I think the record will show that Natalie Merchant was on the right side of history, so I went with her version.
  
• Gospel Train, by the Jones Brothers (off a Sun Records collection).
  
• She Caught the Train, by UB40.
  
• Tied to the Tracks, by Treat Her Right.
