Hey – Why can't we rate Scarlett's #12 track?

While Down There By The Train does show up on Johnny Cash's Unearthed box set in 2003, a different version ALSO shows up on JRC's 1994 album American Recordings (the first Rick Rubin album): http://tinyurl.com/ybewrpk

I always forget that Ramones song is a cover cuz it's such a perfect fit for them.

Thanks for playing my Beat Farmers request! That song gives me chills every time.

GREAT show overall!

There's an ineffable rightness to the combination of Tom Waits and Screamin' Jay Hawkins
