Song of The Week

I'm goin' down to the railroad tracks
And watch them lonesome boxcars roll.
--Rosie Flores, “Boxcars”

Okay, Joe Ely actually wrote this song but Rosie sings it so well that it might as well be her song in the same way that “Respect” is more Aretha Franklin's song than Otis Redding's.

There's something about Rosie's soft, sultry voice on this song that makes you want to say, “Hey, I sure hope there's more where this comes from.”

And, of course, it does inspire a slight interest in trains...
