Wagon load

As wagon load after wagon load of prisoners was taken away, a large crowd of shoppers along Fourteenth Street and Sixth Avenue stopped to watch them.

“Maizypop” was first fed to the Londoners last spring when a New Yorker, who planned and executed the “invasion,” gave away a wagon load of it to the great crowd of pleasure-makers that gathers on Hampton Heath on Easter Monday—a bank holiday.

The recording boasts a wagon load of country and Americana music luminaries including Guy Clark, Joe Ely, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Eliza Gilkyson, Dan Penn, Gretchen Peters, Ian Tyson, Jimmy LaFave and Augie Meyers, along with some cherry-picked vintage recordings that add the voices of Johnny Cash, Ramblin’ Jack Elliott, Lead Belly and Tex Ritter, Mexican norteno and mariachi groups, French Canadian songs and other colorful elements from U.S. border regions.
