the cover of the Lightfoot tune was sad, really. The weakness in his
once SO powerful voice is hard to listen to ... and I don't think it's a great cover anyway :(

i grew up with johnny roy the barefoot boy & my very first LP record,
bought in Winnipeg for $4.20, was Ride this Train none of the tunes on which, as I recall, ever played on the radio. It was a travelogue with Johnny talking, introducing the tunes, which are set in half a dozen different states. The train whistle ... and Cash's incredible recitation of the names of about 50 North American tribes

Mohawk, Mandan, Kickapoo, Cree, &c., &c.
