Big Bill Broonzy-This Train

This Train

[huzone]

Brings me back...summer of Pines Center, Delton, Michigan Big Bill was hired as second cook. My mom was his boss. He interpreted his job to be Resident Blues Singer.I had to fill in for him more than once, cutting oranges for breakfast and such after he had been up all night singing the blues. This song was one from his standard repertoire. Many stories to tell from that epoch summer.

"This Train", also known as "This Train Is Bound for Glory", is a traditional American gospel song first recorded in 1922. Although its origins are unknown, the song was relatively popular during the 1920s as a religious tune, and it became a gospel hit in the late 1930s for singer-guitarist Sister Rosetta Tharpe
