From the liner notes: Here is an instrumental program of familiar folk songs and melodies, selected especially for railroad aficionados. These songs are part of the rich musical heritage of America. The fresh and sparkling arrangements have a sound dimension that puts you in a train-traveling mood.
America's folk music was composed by people who faced the raw and untamed beauty of North America's mountains, plains, and rivers. Some are work songs in origin.
These superlative Americana scores used in the "Whistle Stop" TV series, were arranged by Robert Lowden, who has maintained the folk simplicity of eac, while dressing them in magnificence for the world's first stereo scored orchestra. Performed by the world's largest string orchestra - "101" Strings.
Dixieland tracks performed by The Left Bank Bearcats Bluegrass tracks performed by Homer & The Barnstormers
