Western Railroad Songs American History Through Folksong

It's good to hear those rail road folk that I haven't heard in years. The McNeils have giving a new generation a look at America's folk tradition.

Good Quality!

like this pairs other albums they have some good choices that I have heard of but never heard before .

These people love their research, and they do a credible job of singing the songs. The music is what you'd find at a coffee shop -- pretty much sounding all the same after an hour. The style is definitely Western, i.e. not as much influenced by Scots-Irish or Appalachian styles as it is by the 1930s folk singers like Guthrie.
