Down at the freight yards

This week's Saturday Timewatch pulls one out from the American Archives and a visit to the freight yards east of downtown Houston.

 

BITHBOX # 136

Billy Bragg & Joe Henry "Gentle on my Mind"

A fourth track from the superb "Shine A Light" album recorded whilst crossing coast-to-coast on Amtrak.

 

"I dip my cup of soup back from a gurglin'

Cracklin' caldron in some train yard

My beard a rustling, cold towel, and

A dirty hat pulled low across my face"
