"Orange Blossom Special" (Johnny Cash) Bonus

Today's song was on the country charts this week in 1965, and concerns the famous 20th century steam train from NYC to Miami and sometimes Tampa. It's a fiddle instrumental (I've seen Charlie Daniels play the hell out of it) but Mr. Cash sang and played the harmonica on this version - his voice has an odd quality to it, as he allegedly did lots of those funny white pills back then. I think Boots Randolph did the sax solo, as it sure fits his style.
