Sorry for no posting last night. Running around like mad, trying to get shit done before we head out to El Paso. In fact, we’re on our way now. There won’t be a CSA post tomorrow, and posting may be light until Tuesday. The town of my birth is one that often pops up in rockabilly and in country western songs, often to represent the Wild West, the crazy middle of nowhere, or the border. Think Marty Robbins’ “El Paso”. With that in mind, this song is one of my favorite that name drops El Paso. Aerosmith’s cover ruined it, but just ignore that.
Original song: “The Train Kept A-Rolling’” by the Johnny Burnette Trio
