BLOOD SWEAT AND TEARS

While Ride This Train focused on railroads and their impact on America, Blood, Sweat and Tears delves into both train folklore and the tales of the American working - man. It features classic ballads like 'Casey Jones' and 'The Legend of John Henry's Hammer', alongside recent blues such as 'Busted', the field song 'Pick a Bale of Cotton', and the worker's lament 'Tell Him I'm Gone'. The delivery is straightforward and unsentimental. What makes this record outstanding is that it's mostly filled with top - notch material, free from the corny history lessons that often burden Johnny Cash's Americana records. Sundazed released a vinyl edition in 2003.

To enjoy this album, simply play it on your preferred music player, whether it's a vinyl turntable if you have the Sundazed vinyl edition, or a digital music device. You can listen to it while relaxing at home, during a road trip, or at work. There aren't many special precautions. Just make sure your music - playing equipment is in good condition. If you own the vinyl, handle it gently to avoid scratches. Keep the record clean by using a proper vinyl cleaning brush. For digital copies, ensure your device has enough storage space and is free from malware that could affect the playback.
