Asteroid City - the trailer

 

I have now seen the trailer for Asteroid City a couple of times and I still cannot believe it included two songs from my youth. It was in 1957 that Johnny Duncan and the Blue Grass Boys had a hit record that went to No 2 in the UK charts at the height of the skiffle craze. I was twelve. It was originally a Trinidadian calypso song.

Also in the trailer is another skiffle hit. Freight Train by the Nancy Whiskey and Chas. McDevitt Skiffle Group was recorded in 1956 and made it to No 5 in the UK charts.. It was written by Elizabeth Cotten in the early 20th century. All I want to ask is ..... how come Wes?
