Mighty Good Road by Greg Hale Jones
“This is also part of the outro to the film and is a particularly fine piece of Cajun music and is the third and last part of my Cajun trio. You can watch the original 1934 version from John Lomax here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NTa7ps6sNU. In 1934 John Lomax with the help of Huddie Ledbetter (Lead Belly) made the first two recordings of "Rock Island Line", a song that would become world-famous later. A tall tale in rhyme, the song's subject is a train so fast that it arrives at its destination in Little Rock (at 8:49) before its departure from Memphis (at "half past nine"). In recording the second version they for the first time encountered Kelly Pace - a petty criminal but an outstanding prison singer. It is particularly sad that such an outstanding musician as Greg Hale Jones is no longer with us. 49 is way too young. #HopeYouLikeIt”
