Big Iron World, 2006
Written by Critter Fuqua, Ketch Secor, Willie Watson, David Rawlings
This is a mid-tempo, strumming blues, nothing complicated or flashy. I prefer the Old Crows when they're killing it with sprightly bluegrass, but this song is enjoyable enough, with Fuqua's nasal voice plodding along until the harmonies come in, punctuated by fiddle. The lyrics are Depression-era plaints about the big machines taking good honest physical labor away from the working man, a theme that of course resonates today and always. "That train came on through / And the work's gotten slow / Now where's a boat man to go."
