Look a-yonder comin'
Comin' down that railroad track
Hey, look a-yonder comin'
Comin' down that railroad track
It's the Orange Blossom Special
Bringin' my baby back

Well, I'm going down to Florida
And get some sand in my shoes
Or maybe Californy
And get some sand in my shoes
I'll ride that Orange Blossom Special
And lose these New York blues

"Say man, when you going back to Florida?"
"When am I goin' back to Florida? I don't know, don't reckon I ever will."
"Ain't you worried about getting your nourishment in New York?"
"Well, I don't care if I do-die-do-die-do-die-do-die."

Hey talk about a-ramblin'
She's the fastest train on the line
Talk about a-travellin'
She's the fastest train on the line
It's that Orange Blossom Special
Rollin' down the seaboard line

Haven’t heard Seatrain in (many!) ages. These guys are clearly having a great time and it shines through here. Thanks, Dave.
Wow, a lot of Bluegrass hate here...
Interesting pedigree. Sort of a "sum of the parts is greater than the whole" situation.
This isn't very good, except that...they were experimenting with music.  It was expected. 

Something sorely lacking today. 
Here's the best Radio Station.
To you Mary Love
It sounds as though at any moment, this could break out into the theme from The Benny Hill Show.  Oh, looking at the release year, I may have it backwards.
ahh.... memories!
Oh dear Lord, no! At least the people who were forced to listen to this in the 60s-70s had access to good drugs to help numb the pain.

What else are you gonna have for breakfast?
What a treat, thanks
Listened as long as I could, but now an instant PSD from this office.
Man, Seatrain. It's been like the 70's since I last heard 'em. Thanks Bill!

Actually this is an edit from the 1990 Canadian released One Way Records CD on CEMA special markets edition.  I have loved this version ever since I heard it back when it was new.  I love electric fiddle music, ala It's A Beautiful Day, Curved Air, Roxy Music, etc.  This is a very inspired cover of this song IMHO.


This is an interesting band that I first encountered in the mid-seventies.  Yes I do have all their stuff on  

vinyl.


I have a bunch of SeaTrain in my IPod.

These guys were great and the music is in some ways timeless.

And another darned inspired pick from the RP programming team.

Is heal-clicking some sort of computer mousing therapy? At least it seems to be therapeutic if it got you moving again.
I hate to admit that I have 3 SeaTrain LP's still. That makes me ancient.  Now if they would just play something really nice of theirs like "Out where the hills".

Dave
Oh please, it's Johnny Cash or nothin'.
Outstanding. {#Clap} I had to log in to see if it was The Avetts.



Absolutely Painful!!!!!!! {#Beat}
Well, you are at least 50-something.  Yep.  I had a Seatrain album too.  Showing your age just by saying album.   JustJohn wrote:

Really?
What a headache!!!
WTF?? A new low on RP. Wow!!! I just don't have the words to describe how dreadful this sounds. Hackneyed, cliched, tuneless.... like a mutant cat being tortured. You have to be living in the middle of Deliverance country to even think this could be good. Get rid of it. PLEASE!!!!
