Johnny Cash – Ride This Train

On 180 gram vinyl plus bonus CD of the album. Originally released in 1960, ‘Ride This Train’ is not, as one might think, a collection of songs about trains, but Johnny Cash’s first true concept album. Here Cash presents himself as a kind of modern troubadour, travelling by train across America and telling a story about the people who live at each place the train stops. ‘Loading Coal’, for example, is the story of a Kentucky miner, while ‘Slow Rider’ tells of a murderous outlaw and saddle tramp. Tracks: Side A: 1. Loading Coal 2. Slow Rider 3. Lumberjack 4. Dorraine Of Ponchartrain Side B: 1. Going To Memphis 2. When Papa Played The Dobro 3. Boss Jack 4. Old Doc Brown
