I managed to buy a very good copy off ebay and my audiophile brother converted it. My original copy... more scratches than music now :) Very happy you enjoyed it :)
Songs of the railroad. Merrill Jay Singers. :) I believe these are traditional railroad folk songs, which are always interpreted sung a little differently. At the moment... I'm not sure where the record is as I have moved. A think if you google it they'll show. You can buy the CD off ebay too. Walmart sells a USB turntable cheap too ;)
thank you so much for putting this record up. I have the record but no way to listen to it and you just made my week, month, year, doesn't matter. THANK YOU.
Thank you for putting this up. Your source record sounds great. It's far better than mine that I listened to on Lo-Fi record players from the time it was first released. In 1958 we got the Zenith Cobramatic Hi-Fi unit with relatively low needle pressures but the damage had already been done. I particularly love Wreck of the Old 97, Wabash Cannonball and Casey Jones. It's a blast to have good copies. This was never on CD. Thanks again!
thank you ever so for uploading! Wonderful songs they are! Wish I could preserve my records this way ... Would you mind very much giving more information? Who are these singers? Are all the songs traditional? Maybe you could just put up a legible photo of the backside cover?
@@aznmozez2214 Well, I once read somewhere that sailors sometimes became railroad workers during seasons when the sailing business was kind of slow, then went right back to sea when the sailing picked up. So, it was only natural that sailors and railroad men would share the same type of music for both sea shanties and railroad songs.
My friend asked me "what are u listening too, are you listening to sailor/pirate songs again?" No, this is a railroader song!
So railroad pirates?
Land sailors?
Haha!

why do I feel connected to these songs? I'm Puerto Rican
Folk music is for _all_ folk.
Hard work is universally known to any and all who hadn't the same fortunes as those up top.
My great grandpa worked on the Erie.
I never met my great grandfather. My family doesn't know how he died because the hospital he was in burnt down along with all records of him
I cant stop listening to this its really good

thank you very much, Merrill Jay Singers, a-ha! They're wonderful, and you are very kind.
i remember singing this song in elementary school, except the version i remember is the chorus was sung by kids.

This sounds more like a sea shanty.
I like the way this railroad song is like a sailor song. it has Irish accent to it like the Irish Rovers. This is like... a railroad pirate song
