Journal Entry 118: Waiting on the Iron Horse (1916) | The Mellow Cowboy

This tape was found half-buried under gravel near an old, rusted-out train switch-yard. The Mellow Cowboy isn't alone on this recording. You can hear a small crew of drifters laying low in the dark, waiting for the trains to start running. The music tells the story of the escape—listen to the dramatic, heavy pauses where the playing stops completely. It's as if they are holding their breath, listening for the rail-yard guards. When the harmonica finally wails, it perfectly mimics a ghostly train horn cutting through the fog. But the tight, syncopated stops and starts? That kind of complex, heavy rhythmic breakdown channels the funk and progressive rock of the 1970s, played purely on wood and wire decades before its time. Are they running from the law of 1916, or from something else entirely?
