Railroad (album)
''Railroad'' is an album by American fingerstyle guitarist and composer John Fahey, released in 1983. It was originally released as ''Railroad 1'' by mistake. The Shanachie Records reissue is correctly labeled as ''Railroad''. It was his last principal recording for Takoma Records, the label he founded in 1959.
==History==
John Fahey had a lifelong attraction to trains and railroads. His long-time friend and collaborator Barry Hansen recalled in an interview about Fahey's initial move to Oregon, "He loved the green countryside. He was near a railroad track and he liked that. He loved to watch trains." In his original liner notes, Fahey writes of train yards, individuals related to trains, and memories of trains and railroads. Nearly every track title refers to a train or railroad.
''Railroad'' was Fahey's last principal recording for Takoma Records, the label he founded in 1959. He cited the strain of running the label and its lack of direction as reasons for selling it to the UK-based Chrysalis Records. In a 1997 interview with Jason Gross, he stated "The reason that I got rid of it was almost everybody in the office started taking cocaine and I couldn't get rid of it. We weren't losing money or anything. We were still selling records. I made the terrible mistake of giving stock to the employees so I couldn't fire them. The only thing I could do was to dissolve the company. While I was doing that, Chrysalis offered to buy it and I said 'sure, take it.'" Other sources refer to Fahey's lack of interest in the business side of running Takoma, the company's debt, and the current poor business climate of the record industry.
"Life is Like a Mountain Railroad" is a version of the country song "Life's Railway to Heaven" by Charles Davis Tillman and M. E. Abbey.〔
