		Mystery Train was written by (or, at least, copyrighted in the names of) Sam Phillips and Herman Parker, Jr., for Parker's own group, Little Junior's Blue Flames, who recorded the composition in late 1953 in Memphis for Phillips's new Sun label.
		2: Mystery Train, they needn't have crossed the racial barrier for their source material: Blind Lemon Jefferson, in Right of Way Blues, in 1927, sang, "Lord the train I ride, eighteen coaches long; and the girl I love, she's just now leaving home" and Lucille Bogan, in T.
		Blues (1933): "The train I ride is eighteen coaches long, and the man I love done been here and gone." Clearly the verse, and many others like it, were firmly ensconced in African-American musical tradition in the 1920s.

		Mystery Train are a Cambridgeshire-based band who specialise in good-time, rootsy, Blues and R'n'B-based music.
		Mystery Train was formed from among a pool of local musicians, some of whom also play in other bands, to play blues and good-time roots music.
		The vibe of a Mystery Train session is like an amalgam of "The Last Waltz" and The Rolling Thunder Review, and evenings tend to end with the whole house singing along to songs like "I Shall Be Released" and "Midnight Special"...

	‘Mystery Train’ (R)
		One of the legendary Sun Records songs that helped launch rock and roll in the mid-'50s, "Mystery Train" also starts up Jim Jarmusch's film of the same name, and brings the movie rattling and rolling on into Memphis, with about 16 coachloads of Jarmusch touches shuttling behind and Elvis's ghost hovering memorably overhead.
		There's no sense of destination in "Train," in the narrative sense, just comings and goings in Memphis, ghost town for musical greats from Elvis to Otis.
		In the second ("A Ghost"), Italian widow Nicoletta Braschi, who's transporting her husband's remains to Rome, has an encounter with a much more famous cadaver; and in the third ("Lost in Space"), low-lifers Joe Strummer, Joe Buscemi and Rick Aviles, ducking the cops for armed robbery, do that trademark-Jarmusch cage-pacing thing.

	Mystery Train Records: Local Music -- Willie Alexander
		Willie "Loco" Alexander is a rock & roll genius, a true original who kicked around from band to band for years before featuring his beautifully demented songs with the Boom Boom Band.
		This is a mistake, for Willie Alexander is a classic rocker, a walking oral history of great rock ideas of the last twenty years, and that's why his records are so interesting.
		Willie's newest release is entitled "The East Main Street Suite." Willie's oldest release we can find a picture of is entitled "Violet Gown" and was recorded by his band The Lost.

	Mystery Train
		Mystery Train is not a "slacker" film in the sense that the main characters are not slackers.
		By concentrating on the least glamorous aspects of Memphis, director Jim Jarmusch provides us with a perspective much like one of the main characters of the film, who only photographs the hotel rooms, train stations, and airports of his visit to America, because those are the mundane images most likely to fade from his memory.
		As the two women are ready to part in the morning, Lucia pays for the room herself and gives Dee Dee two hundred dollars to help her on her way.

	Presley, Elvis: mystery train
		Somewhere I've read or heard that it was referring to a death train.
		As I understand it, "Mystery Train", which was a re-working of an old fl blues song, relates to the movement of labour from the South up to Chicago and Detroit during the 1920's and 30's.
		The song's singer is lamenting the fact that he has seen his girlfriend leave on a northbound train and, now that she is dead, her body is returning to him on the same train.

	Rolling Stone : Mystery Train
		"Mystery Train" is one of Presley's most haunting songs, a stark blues number that sounds ancient but had actually first been cut only two years earlier by Memphis blues singer Junior Parker.
		Presley recorded it with the groove from the flip side of the same Parker single, "Love My Baby," and Sun producer Phillips' taut, rubbery echo effect made guitarist Scotty Moore's every note sound doubled.
		Presley added a final verse -- "Train took my baby/ But it never will again" -- capped by a celebratory falsetto whoop that transformed a pastoral about death into a song about the power to overcome it.

		When the Japanese couple arrives in Memphis by train, the picture of the city presented is a rather sad one: we see a waste disposal, a motorway exit, all in all a quite depressing cityscape.
		In its entirety, the movie does not show much of the architecture of Memphis, the audience only sees one or two roads, the old hotel, a barber-shop, a pub called "The Shades" and various pictures of the King.
		Further links that work as points of reference between the episodes are everybody’s complaining because of another absence in the film, namely that of a TV-set, and the over-present portraits of Elvis, taking over the function of a hotel bible.

		If I had heard Ron Orlando & Mystery Train's swingin', jumpin', rockin' roots music before I knew the title of their debut for the Paterson-based Silk City label, I would have tilted my head like a dog who heard something funny.
		Other than the closing title track, ''Jasper, Texas'' is more of a salute to the soulful bluesy, sounds of Memphis than the racism that caused a fl man to be dragged to death in that town.
		Tough, nearly impossible for acts to break new ground with this brand of original music, Ron Orlando & Mystery Train succeed from a purist sense, while packing their tunes with a fresh sense of enthusiasm.
