Comments and Reviews


fixbutte 2nd Sep 2015		The record notes correctly said, "A-side actually co-written by Rabon Delmore (Nobar)". What they didn't say was that it was also co-written by Alton Delmore who used the pen name Jim Scott for several compositions (notes now adjusted). "Freight Train Boogie" was actually a "boogiefied" version of the American folk song, "The Ballad Of Casey Jones". The prominent train sound effects on this recording were provided by harmonica player Wayne Raney.
