Album Notes & Community Reviews

Continuing Sun Records' strategy of maximizing their catalog following the artist's defection, this compilation specifically gathers his deeply evocative recordings concerning trains and the American railroad. The collection beautifully highlights the stark, heavily percussive 'boom-chicka-boom' rhythm established by the Tennessee Two, perfectly mirroring the driving, relentless momentum of the album's thematic focus.
