A train rolling through poor backcountry, its whistle as lonesome as the condemned on the chain gang, as it crosses rivers traveling just as swiftly. Roads, rails, and rivers, coming and going, bringing and taking, reuniting and separating. The story of America summed up in one album. A people on the move. A people not moving but watching enviously as others move. Throw in a bit of lip service to religion and you got the whole American experience.
