Downbound Train (live) by Gandalf
taken from Gandalf 2
Not really the second album from legendary late 60s psyche group Gandalf, but a well-done collection of unreleased material and rarities -- finally released to whet the appetites of anyone wanting more! The first Gandalf album is a masterpiece in brooding psychedelia -- surprisingly gentle compared to most of its contemporaries, but with a depth that's really amazing -- and these other recordings follow in a very similar spirit, but offer a much wider spectrum in sound! Some tracks are slightly folksy, some harder rocking, others a bit sweet -- yet the music is all pretty unified, thanks to the breathy vocals and hypnotic guitar of leader Peter Sando. Almost all of the titles are previously unreleased -- and tracks include "Bird In The Hand", "Days Are Only Here & Gone", "Smokey Topaz", "Ladyfingers", "No Earth Can Be Won", "Over This Table", "Dance At St Francis", and "Julie" -- plus a few demos and live tracks too!

for any vinyl collectors check out sundazed [dot] com
they are a small record company that has a lot of re-issues and hard to find vinyls, including both Gandalf albums!

this was originally a cowboy song, recorded by alan lomax, then put into the minor key 1-chord version by Chuck Berry, from which this Gandalf version is derived.
