The big ticket for collectors on this one, however, is the inexplicable bonus of a previously unissued Eddie Taylor number, "Leave This Neighborhood," reason enough for hardcore fans to...

Happy Birhtday Van Morrison Cleaning Windows lyrics Oh, the smell of the bakery from across the street Got in my nose As we carried our ladders down the street With the wrought-iron rows I went home and listened to Jimmy Rodgers in my lunch-break Bought five Woodbines at the shop on the corner And went straight back to work Oh, Sam was up on [...]

Freight Train Blues: Brownie McGhee

Keep The Coffee Coming (Free subscription) | 13/05/2008

Both songs today come from my favorite label and are from the same album, Classic Railroad Songs from Smithsonian Folkways. The album is filled with root artists and, it, like many of the compilation albums Smithsonian Folkways has released, was my introduction to singers I wouldn't have known otherwise. MP3 File
