Editorial Review: Amazon.com: This concept album ranks with the most thematically ambitious of Johnny Cash's career, though the title's a little misleading. Instead of a collection of train songs (the sort featured in the Cash catalogue from "Hey Porter" to "Orange Blossom Special"), he alternates the spoken-word narrative of a rail trip that crosses the country (and cuts across centuries) with songs about the characters you might meet along the way. From a Kentucky coal miner ("Loading Coal") to an Oregon logger ("Lumberjack") to a convict on a Mississippi chain gang ("Going to Memphis"), Cash inhabits the various manifestations of what he calls "the heart and muscle of this land." In "Slow Rider" he combines the folk standard "I Ride an Old Paint" with the gunfighter legend of John Wesley Hardin. The reissue of this 1960 release adds four bonus tracks, story songs in a similar spirit but without the narration. --Don McLeese Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - John R. CashThis album has some great Johnny Cash songs that fit the man, the image and the style. I'd recommend it to any Johnny Cash Fan. I've actually played it for years as a radio announcer back in the 60s and 70s. Rating:  - If you can find it, get it.This is one of the hard-to-find actual studio albums of JC, buried among the Greatest Hits collections. It's a real treasure though - but you'll have to get used to the concept of a travelogue. Each song is preceded by a narrated introduction which today would sound corny, but on this album it doesn't. The songs are haunting and beautiful. No hits on this one - which makes it better for hard core fans who've heard Ring of Fire enough already. Rating: - Johnny Cash True AmericanThis Cash album covers American's struggles thru our early history up to modern times. The stories in song of people,familys and their struggles to survive hard times. Rating: - If you REALLY like Johnny CashI was glad to get a copy of this as a present for a friend in Europe who is a serious Johnny Cash fan. My cousin tells me that there is a 4 CD set with the same name. But since i was only expecting one CD i wasn't disappointed! Rating: - Ride This Train, Johnny CashI was SO pleased to be able to find this album! In my opinion, this is one of the finest albums Johnny Cash ever recorded. I'm sure it is the only place he ever recorded the song "Old Doc Brown", which never fails to touch my heart. All of my children (now grown with children of their own) remember this album (as an old LP) and were just as pleased with it as I was! Thank you SO MUCH for providing a place to find treasured memories! |
