Tracklist
From the liner notes:
At the request of many hundreds of Johnny’s loyal fans and followers, we have been asked to put into one Sun album all of Johnny’s train and related songs.
This has been a distinct pleasure to do, as we feel Cash has proven himself to be one of the greatest singers of Country and Folk songs of this or any other generation.
One of his instinctive and intuitional qualities is his love of “train” songs. To Johnny the live and the magic of our heritage is best brought to a climax in us all by the many nostalgic sentiments brought to our minds eye by great romantic tradition of the early era of the train.
Hardship, joy, love, loneliness and adventure are all a part of this romantic age of the “big black wheel.”
Johnny Cash brings many of these great songs to you in one of his best albums, “BLUE TRAIN.”
Our hope is that you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed putting it together.
