Wonderful field recording from 1934.

Lovely stuff! Another twist on the Train Song theme as played by so many musicians back then. This one is very close to Bukka White's Panama Limited, but whether it is a copy is something we'll never know.

The player was recorded in Alabama, it's highly unlikely he heard Booker's record which sold very few. There is a similar recording, already put up here, by "Big Boy".

Very nice. Lyrics aside to me it sounds musically similar to Falling Down Blues by Furry Lewis. I am always fascinated by the way in which one can hear ideas/themes/motifs in blues (and of course in music generally) evolving as they move from musician to musician.
