Arkansas Red-Ozark Troubadour has been a lifelong singer of the old folksongs. He resides in the Ozark mountains where he grew up. His dad was a railroad brakeman, and while riding on his dad's train he got to witness first hand the life of the hobo. His latest CD is a collection of "Hobo Songs" he has written over the past twenty years. Some of the songs are from personal experiences, while others are stories he's heard from different hobos and railroad men. All of the vocals and instruments you hear on the CD are sung and played by Arkansas Red via the multi-tracking process. These songs are delivered with sincerity, and Arkansas Red's deep appreciation for America's past.

Woody Guthrie Meets Brian Wilson
author: Bill Drellow
...and the result is fantastic! Arkansas Red's "Last Train Out" is the most honest album of original American songs since "Dust Bowl Ballads." Red's account of the vagaries of a hobo's life transports the listener straight to the jungle camps, boxcars and train yards. The sincerity of his understanding of, and empathy for, these forgotten people is deeply affecting. And then there's this business about Red playing all the instruments, singing all the background parts and writing all the songs. The last person who did that was Brian Wilson and we all thought it Brian and four other guys. Oh, and Woody did it, too, but he only had to play two instruments (guitar and harp) and sing one part. Get this CD. Order it now, just do it!
