[FA Worldmusic] Horn of Africa/ Train songs

[David Rogers]

In the category of iconic jazz instrumentals...
"Take the A Train" (Billy Strayhorn)
"Blue Train" (John Coltrane)

In Gospel, a personal favorite of mine is:
"This Train" (Sister Rosetta Tharpe)

As for Tom Waits, please don't neglect the heartbreaking "Train Song" from
Frank's Wild Years.

-David
