In hope of enticing the mysterious "iamquentin" out of the shadows, here's a post that follows the template of conceptually linked tunes that Quentin told me he was planning to deploy for his first post here - I won't give away his gameplan but suffice to say it's a bit more interesting than mine - reggae songs about trains. They're all totally sweet though.
Raphael Green with Dr Alimantado - Rasta Train
Big Youth - Train to Rhodesia
The Ethiopians - Train to Glory
Dennis Alcapone - Engine Engine Number Nine
Junior Murvin with Dillinger - Roots Train
PLUS - some weird Appalachian folk business, on the same theme
Elizabeth Cotton - Freight Train

that engine number nine tune is killer. I had it ages ago then lost it.
actually it was engine 54 by the ethiopians that I was thinking of. Nuttal, can you post that one up? otherwise, I'll dig it out. it's quality
Yes of course - I thought about posting that one but then decided it was far too well known for this strictly obscurantist blog - but anything for a fan
