Sixteen Coaches Long

There are three versions of the song “Mystery Train” that I have come to care about. The first is by Junior Parker who wrote the song, it is slow- er than what came later, having the speed of a train slowly moving from a station. It is almost languid in it’s pace and vocals. The next and most famous rendition is by Elvis, it is much faster,driven by the Scotty Moore guitar riff that fuels all later versions. As Elvis got older and more sub- stance dependent the song got faster and faster. James Burton provided the guitar, pushing the main riff past anything previous, with speed and technique, to about 60 or 70 mph with no station in sight. This is the way of playing this song that I learned from my guitar teacher Danny Gatton in 1969. The only other serious reworking of “Mystery Train” was the one “The Band” put out on one their albums. Resting some- where between the original and Presley’s, with Levon Helm singing the vocals and Robbie Robertson providing the guitar. Robertson also wrote some additional words and added additional stanzas, twisting the song considerably but still keeping the feel. Now when I play the song (which is rarely) it is as it was originally recorded. Slowly, with an almost drag beat. “Train I r--i--d--e....”. The fascination stays intact at any speed, always impenetrable and com- plex. A song containing no obvious emotion, but once heard it will not leave your head. American and ancient, simple and demanding, inspired and sad.
