  • Charlie Poole has been getting a good bit of attention these days in bluegrass, 88 years after he died in 1931. The banjo picker and singer from North Carolina was a very popular string band entertainer in the 1920s, but died at 39 from alcohol poisoning as the depression was starting to take a bite out of his record sales and touring career.
    Today Appalachian Road Show has a new music video for one of Charlie’s biggest numbers, 'Milwaukee Blues', complete with their trademark vintage clothing and a train theme to match the lyrics of the song.

    One Tuesday morning and it looked like rain Around the curve come a passenger train On the blind sat old Bill Jones A good old hobo and he's trying to get home Trying to get home, he's trying to get home He's a good old hobo and he's trying to get home
    Way down in Georgia on a tramp The roads are getting muddy and the leaves are getting damp I've got to catch a freight train and leave this town Cause they don't allow no hobos a-hanging around Hanging around, yes, a-hanging around Cause they don't allow no hobos a-hanging around
    I left Atlanta one morning before day The brakeman said, "You'll have to pay" Got no money but I'll pawn my shoes I want to go west, I got the Milwaukee blues Got the Milwaukee blues, got the Milwaukee blues I want to go west, I got the Milwaukee blues
    Old Bill Jones said before he died, "Fix the roads so the 'bos can ride When they ride they will ride the rods Put all their trust in the hands of God In the hands of God, in the hands of God They'll put all their trust in the hands of God"
    Old Bill Jones said before he died There's two more roads he'd like to ride Fireman said "What can it be?" "Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe Santa Fe, yes, Santa Fe Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe"

    Bluegrass is such happy music, whether you're singin' of killin' burryin' or leavin' town, or losing in love. Grab an instrument and happy away!!

    Just saw them play this at a Bluegrass festival just outside Milwaukee. Everyone loved it of course. (Not that we think of ourselves as "the west" in Wisconsin!)

    That video reminds me of The Nashville Bluegrass Band sound.

    I just saw these guys in Gettysburg and they were a great closing band for a Saturday night. This is a great rendition of a song written by Charlie Poole.

    I'm pretty sure that was Tim Lovelace playing the hobo. Another great musician and christian comedian.

    At the very least you could have shown a box car with no graffiti and the hobo trying to climb into a box car and not a grain car .

    Heard one more verse to this I haven't seen anywhere......."Brakeman said just before I die, there's two more drinks I'd like to try....Engineer asked what can they be? A cold glass of water and a hot cup of tea"
