Allen Toussaint: Last Train
Glen Campbell's cover version of the title track was a #1 country/ pop/ adult contemporary crossover smash but when you dig a little deeper into Southern Nights, you find some funky New Orleans soul thanks to Allen Toussaint's decision to team up with his house band, The Meters.
On "Last Train", I wonder of Toussaint is huffing and puffing to keep up with a young lover or whether he's suffering from Alvin Toffler's Future Shock, fearing the speed of rapid change that could mean the end of the railroad.
