2015 collection. The world is full of train songs it seems all songwriters find the diddly-dee diddley-da rhythm irresistible and compose away as they clickety-clack on down the track. This compilation was created by the compiler who brought you 2008’s Feline Groovy: a different take on trains with a witty, stylish set of illustrations, notes, info and photographs. Many important artists are featured among these 25 tracks including Little Walter, Dusty Springfield, James Carr, Chuck Berry and the Shangri-Las. The obvious tracks have been avoided; great care has been taken to offer a wide variety of musical genres and you find reggae next to rockabilly, skiffle next to pop but all are vital recordings and it makes for a superb listening experience. All Aboard!
