"Billy Bragg once toured the UK by British Rail, rocking up in cities with guitar in hand and loudspeakers on his shoulders. More than 30 years later, he boarded the Texas Eagle with American singer friend Joe Henry and rode across the US, recording this album of old folk railroad songs on platforms and in waiting rooms along the way. The combination of background sounds and voices from Essex and North Carolina brings a Transatlantic feel to songs steeped in Americana".

"Subtitled "Field Recordings From The Great American Railroad". Or, in other words, Billy Bragg gets to indulge his younger man's fantasies, drenching himself in the romantic folklore of the railroad pioneers and record an album of train songs. He's found a willing accomplice in American singer-songwriter Joe Henry, the pair of them taking off on an epic 2,000-mile/four day ride from Chicago Union Station all the way to Los Angeles, breathing in the fumes that presumably helped to inspire the likes of Lead Belly, Hank Williams, Jimmie Rodgers, Sara Carter and Jean Ritchie to write some of the classic songs included here ... Necessarily primitive and unsubtle with occasional sounds of railway-hubbub behind them (shades of Michelle Shocked's Texas Camp Fire Tapes), it's great fun - though probably not as much fun as they clearly had making it".
