AN EXCELLENT PLAYING COPY OF THIS CLASSIC BOOGIE WOOGIE 78 FROM MEADE LUX LEWIS ON A UK PARLOPHONE 78

HONKY TONK TRAIN BLUES

ONE OF THE MOST CLASSIC BOOGIE WOOGIE PIANO PIECES EVER!!

Meade Lux Lewis was born in Chicago, Illinois and helped establish boogie-woogie as a major blues piano style in the 1930s and 1940s. Lewis took the rollicking piano form out of the clubs and cat houses and onto the concert stage in 1938 where its fast-flowing rhythms and charging solos delighted audiences and eventually laid the groundwork for rhythm & blues and later rock & roll.

Honky Tonk Train Blues is one of the most covered Boogie Woogie records ever and indeed Meade Lux Lewis himself recorded it many times
 
In 1976 it was covered by Keith Emerson who got it to No 21 in the UK charts
