- Boxcar Willie - Wabash Cannonball (live)
Boxcar Willie, born as Lecil Travis Martin (September 1, 1931 -- April 12, 1999) was an American country music singer, who sang in the "old-time hobo" music style, complete with dirty face, overalls, and a floppy hat. "Boxcar Willie" was originally a character in a ballad he wrote, but he later adopted it as his own stage name.
In 1976, Martin left the Air Force and became a full-time performer.
He went on to become a star in country music, selling more than 10 million records, tapes and CDs worldwide. In 1981, Martin achieved a professional landmark by being inducted into the Grand Ole Opry as its 60th member.
Box car Willie came to Ireland and travelled on our R.P.S.I steam railtour. A real character and a real railwayman and gent🚂🚂
Big Bo here,
RIP box car
I can remember when I was fifteen or sixteen years old
Around 1984
Me and a couple family members went to see boxcar in concert in the old state theater in Uniontown Pa
Well boxcar was just getting rolling on his great career then that started with infomercial that he had at that time
I can remember him opening up for t.g.shepard at that time
Well boxcar played
Greatly
Dang
Then T.G started
Low and behold
Us country hillbilly folks wanted boxcar back
So we started chanting
Boxcar
Boxcar
Over powering the music
We finally figured out boxcar was signing autographs
In the lobby
So about three fourths of us left to see boxcar before he left town
Never too listen to rest of show
I bet boxcar felt good that day
RIP
Love you boxcar
Big Bo
One of Fayette counties finest
Going back to videos
Over and out
Good budy
I love this man. What an entertainer he was. Extraordinary talent. Miss him.
I was in like 2nd/3rd grade and seen him in person......I'm in my 40s now and remember it clear as day and that train whistle! Amazing! Made me think of my grandma! 🚂🚃🚇❤️
I never met him but I'm of the same age and remember watching him on hee haw and the g4and ol opry
Sitting with my grandparents on that arm chair of knowledge
this vid makes me think of my dad who loved boxcar willy. nothing beats a classic artist
I went to a country music festival in Frankfurt Germany in the early eighties and he was there, along with Tammy Wynette and a couple of other acts.
I wish the whole intro wasn't chopped...it was a truly heartfelt well-wish to Wilie's good friend Roy Acuff.
Happy Birthday in Heaven Dad and Boxcar Willlie . Somewhere in heaven...the music plays on
Was never a country music fan being a yankee city slicker, but I can listen to Boxcar Willie all day long.
Great tele player!
This is my favourite Box Car Willie song. Funny story, the first cassette I ever bought was a compilation of his greatest hits when I was 11 but I never told my friends as they would have teased me about liking"old people's music" Now over here in Northern Ireland all ages likes Country Music.🤣Funny how things come full circle from you're 11 to you are 49 years old when even half of the local country music stars are half your age. I wonder.is it like that in other countries?
What a great voice
Boxcar Willie keeps everyone on their feet dancing
Great singer and did train whistle very well
Just like my Ruauk KODESH. (Holy Spirit Comforter Essence) of our Father & SONS HEAD GLORY!
My grandfather loved Boxcar Willie. He died before I was born, though.
Damn shame you cant find a place like this today to have a cold beer and tap your feet to....the good times are over for good.
Now days if you even flirt with women you get kicked out to exspecilly since girls don't find me attractive.
me n my dad listened to this in the ute when we went camping n travelling.he'll always be a LEGEND!!!!!
Thanks...glad you liked it :-)
I miss him !! I liked his songs and train whistles . I used to go to Brandon and he was one I would see !!😂😂

Boxcar wr ein toller Typ...Leider ist er nicht mehr....
In my possession I have an old casette tape, one side is Slim Dusty, a well-known Australian country music artist, and on the other side was one-half of an album that no-one knew who sang on it, I saved it from being taped over. The tape is of Boxcar Willie in concert and it is this exact version of Wabash Cannonball that he's singing. Thankyou for posting it.
Van Boxcar Willie zijn liedjes word ik vrolijk.
Bedankt voor het delen van dit plaatje, Waldo.
