| kingart (Brooklyn NY) | Posted: Aug 29, 2012 - 18:52 Good song. Is this a cover of a classic? I've heard about 1,679 country blues tunes like it, about his baby gone and train the goin down the track and the whistle with the slide guitar emulatin' his emotion. |
| michaelgmitchell (Stirling, ON) | Posted: Aug 29, 2012 - 18:49 SPOILER ALERT: More train-themed songs likely forthcoming. |
| Byronape ("post-capitalist wreckageville") | Posted: May 20, 2012 - 20:20 Is this the same guy who did that recycled crap pop song "Lullaby"? How is this possible? |

| meinthecorner (Past the gravy, far beyond the golden fries) | Posted: Jan 14, 2012 - 21:45 Catchy, indeed! I wouldn't have expected this to be Shawn Mullins. Is he re-working an old song? |
| srose96 (grandma's house) | Posted: Dec 20, 2011 - 11:47 this song has a sweet charm about it.. |
| yurasuka (just on the far side of nowhere) | Posted: Aug 16, 2011 - 04:12 Excellent tracklist at the moment Bill! Gets the head bobbing and causes amusement in the office. |

I guess I need to pull myself out of "Soul's Core" and get into his current stuff. Wow. Not rating this yet - I need to suck my thumb a little longer...Cynaera you crack me up! I too was a bit surprised when I looked... REALLY!!! Shawn Mullins? |
| Kittee (NC- Dreaming of the Mountains) | Posted: Apr 05, 2011 - 19:04 Nice! really digging this! |
| Geecheeboy (under a crescent moon and palmetto tree) | Posted: Jan 02, 2011 - 10:38 Bought it. Amazon MP3 download. Thanks, RP. |

Hahahaha — I just had the same thought! Thinking this has that "old-timey" sound to it. "...Say, any of you boys smithies? Or, if not smithies per se, were you otherwise trained in the metallurgic arts before straitened circumstances forced you into a life of aimless wanderin...?" |
| lmic (Harmless Little Bunny) | Posted: Jan 17, 2010 - 17:26 Wow, way more substance (musically) than The Ballad of Katherine Johnson. Dig it, 7 |

Makes me wish I hadn't accidentally dipped one of my headphone buds in my coffee last week, meaning I have to listen to everything in mono until I can find a new pair. The backing vocals are excellent. |
| fredriley (Nottingham, UK) | Posted: Dec 17, 2009 - 07:31 The Oom! Hah! is easily worth an extra 2. 8 from the Nottingham jury. |
| maLeFunKtion (Scotland) | Posted: Oct 15, 2009 - 10:42  Woooooooot wooooooot! Choo Choo! Ugh agh ugh agh.I can't deny, this is catchy.  |
| dunno (somewhere between here and over there) | Posted: Apr 08, 2009 - 15:28 this is a strange one - I like it ! had the impression that it is much older. |
