Boxcar Willie

The country hobo, Boxcar Willie [real name Lecil Martin] burst on to the country music scene in the late 1970s and before long his name and songs became a major part of the music landscape through his TV infomercial that appeared almost every day somewhere around the country. His songs about trains, God and just about anything country endeared him to fans of all ages without his actually having to reach the top of the music charts. He became an icon for country music and his albums sold in the millions. This super-low priced ten song collection features five of his favorite Hank Williams tunes as well as his signature train melodies like King of the Road and Wabash Cannonball .
