I was reminded of “Midnight Train to Georgia” by the series Great Migrations: A People on the Move hosted by Henry Louis Gates, Jr, which discussed it. The song has a long history.

“Carnival Time” (1960) is a New Orleans record by Al Johnson. More on it here.

“Clean Up At Home” is a Sleepy John Estes song from 1938.

“Alone and Forsaken” is a Hank Williams song.

“Heart of Stone” is a 1964 Rolling Stones song

“$1000 Wedding” is a Gram Parsons song. I really like the cover by the Mekons. I have been listening to them a lot and think they’re great.

“Sweet Dreams (Don Gibson song)” is best known in the version by Patsy Cline.

“Tip On In” is a Slim Harpo song. I know the cover by Alex Chilton.
