I just heard, for the first time, Jame's Cottons "Two Trains Runnin'" from the "Deep in the Dela Blues" Album.

Wow.

I wanna hear other songs where the artists completely let themselves go in the moment like that, all loud-like.

different song, but I love the Lowell George lyrics, and still the blues for sure....

In 1966 I found my love
In 1967 I had all there was
And as my time went by I was satisfied
Until that situation took me by surprise

Now there's two trains
runnin' - on that line
One train's me, and the other's a friend of mine
You know it would be all right, be just fine
If the woman took one train, and left the other behind

Illusion it is just the same conclusion
I don't know how to play the game
Of what it is or how it's going to be
When one train is my friend and the other train is me

Easy, Lord, I say easy, I can't push or shove that girl
So I guess I really care
Now I aint not one to hide my love behind a lock and key
But if things keep going the way they are there's no place left for me

Two trains runnin' - on that line
One train's me, and the other's a friend of mine
Be all right, be just fine
If this woman took the one train, and left the other behind

Two trains, (uh-huh yeah) two trains, (two) two trains, (keep on on) two trains
Two trains, (a little bit longer) two trains, two trains, two trains
