[FA Worldmusic] Horn of Africa

[Ian Menzies]

A fairly exhaustive list of Canadian train songs can be found at this link:

http://www.haya.qc.ca/train-songs.htm

Including such gems as
The Flyin' CPR by Stompin' Tom Connors
The Hobo's Blues by Wilf Carter
Le Train du Nord by Felix Leclerc
Canadian Railroad Trilogy by Gordon Lightfoot
49 Tons by Fred Eaglesmith

Fred, Gordon and Tom all have several train songs in their catalogues.

A couple of train themed albums that come to mind are Johnny Cash's "Ride
This Train" and the Bollywood Soundtrack for The Train by RD Burman.

On the Horn of Africa front, don't forget all those fantastic Ethiopiques
comps....
