Train Songs: 200 Great Songs about Railroad Heroes, Hobos and Freight Trains

Today the American highways are populated by truckers but before the trucks arrived on the scene, goods were transported by railroad - leading to countless stories, anecdotes and legends that have found their way into the music of the country & western, rhythm & blues and rock & roll scenes and eventually into pop music. There were stories about specific trains, the heroic deeds of railroaders - and the hobos, those fare-dodging tramps who travelled the length and breadth of the country and who were brutally combated by the railroaders and their bosses. These stories have been compiled on this 10 CD box set - many performed by well-known stars while other tracks are true rarities. An absolute "must have" for fans of the great music of the 1950s.
