I know you were waiting for a train song of the day yesterday and I failed you. My apologies. Let’s enjoy Tom Waits singing Downtown Train. This comes from Mr. Waits’ record, Rain Dogs, from 1985. This tune has been covered by a few people and was popularized by Rod Stewart, who did what I consider to be an insipid version in 1989. Stick to the Waits version on this one. Old Tom won’t lead you astray. Rain Dogs still stands up as a great recording. If you missed it first time around, go check it out.
