Comment:

John Henry was a steel driving man.As far as works songs go this is my favorite.So many folks did this song and i figured they needed to be put together in a mix.I like the way all the different versions sound together.

I could imagine there being so many versions of this song, but to compile all of these...impressive! A daunting accomplishment...
