  1. Great collection of railroad tunes. Thanks! Are you familiar with Jimmie Rodgers ('The Singing Brakeman')? He did some great stuff as well. (And yodelled, too!)

    1. Hi Mike, glad you enjoyed this. It's part 2 of a country trains & railway collection, the first part I posted last week. And Jimmie Rodgers...sure, one of the greatest legends of old country music, I'm not sure if I've featured him on any compilations so far, so I'll consider him for upcoming collections.

  2. Without Trains there'd be no Country Music! Thanx Bob.

    1. Hi Mike, yes, I guess many people think of Bill Haley as rock & roll, but of course he was a successful and well recorded country singer way before R&R.
