Old Train

The fourth album, with the original recording of "Wait a Minute".
The Seldom Scene, 1974

Wikipedia dates Old Train to 1974, though Bluegrass Today and the Cellar Door article's chronology say 1973. Gary B. Reid produced it. The five members were joined by Ricky Skaggs on fiddle and viola, Bob Williams on harmonica, Paul Craft on guitar and Linda Ronstadt on vocals. Wikipedia names "Wait a Minute", "Old Train" and "C & O Canal" as trademark songs, and the cover is the B&O locomotive 5303, President Madison. The AllMusic rating is disputed between readings of the Wikipedia article, so we do not give one.
