Lost Train Blues

'Lost Train Blues' features 22 selections from the vast holdings of the American Folklife Center at the Library Of Congress, 13 of them never issued before. The record includes work songs, ballads, blues, political and union songs, guitar, banjo and fiddle music and Native American vocal music, recorded in the period 1933-1950. The record demonstrates the groundbreaking work of Alan Lomax and his father John Lomax. The LP comes with liner notes by Alan Lomax archive curator Nathan Salsburg, as well as a 14-page booklet with photographs and original research about each song, artist and folklorist. The cover features an original lithograph by artist Jeff Tocci. Each selection has been retransferred from original discs and tapes and has been carefully remastered.
