Song of the Month
The Masters Family:
"Southbound Passenger Train"
MP3 (2.2 MB)

I don't know much about the Masters Family. I think that they mainly recorded gospel music and that this is one of their few secular pieces. They recorded this one for Columbia records in 1952. Pops Bayless, a great ukulele player and Facebook friend, posted an earlier version of this song from a Laurel and Hardy film. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJRJ6V8jcUE)

I think Doc Watson recorded a version of this song later in the 1970s.
