Thread Name: Origins: Reuben's Train - who was Reuben?
Subject: RE: Origins: Reuben's Train
Thanks for the references Joe. I wasn't sure how much duplication between threads would be considered sporting.
RE: Traditional Ballad Index -
"J. E. Mainer's Mountaineers [or Wade Mainer], "Riding on Train Forty-Five" (Bluebird B-7298, 1937; Victor 27493, 1941)"
B-Side credits: Wade Mainer; Zeke Morris; Steve Ledford (A-side is Down in the Willow Mainer, Morris only. No Mountaineers A or B)
Victor 27493 is disc 3:5 from the Smoky Mountain Ballads, Musical Smart Set album P-79 (78rpm.) Reissued on the Vintage Series LP RCA LPV507, 1964 and elsewhere. Same credits as above.
