Boz Scaggs - Waiting For A Train

From his first album in 1969, "Waiting For A Train" shows Boz Scaggs the roots/Americana musician, a creature who got buried in the Silk Degrees avalanche several years later. The wonderful dobro playing is by the wonderful Duane Allman, whose own band put out their first album the same year. At the time it was a big deal that these modern young musicians were playing such an old song -- now the gap between today and 1969 is bigger than the gap between them and the Singing Brakeman.
