Now in another of our guest playlists from each and every member of The Coral this week, it's up to keyboard player Nick Power to select his top tracks - this time, the songs he likes to listen to about trains. 

This week, we've had the eclectic sounds of what frontman James Skelly has been enjoying in the last month - taking in everything from metal to reggae and soul. Then drummer Ian Skelly took us on a journey of exploration into the blues

Now, Nick takes us on a wild train ride, picking the songs he likes to listen to while riding the rails. Along the way, we take in everything from Chuck Berry to Captain Beefheart via The Smiths, Kraftwerk and even The Coral themselves. 

1. Chuck Berry - 'Downbound Train'

 

2. Alan Vega - 'Jukebox Babe'

3. Vashti Bunyan - 'Train Song'

4. The Coral - 'Ghost Riders In The Sky'

5. Captain Beefheart – 'Click Clack'

6. The Kinks - 'Last Of The Steam Powered Trains'

7. John Hammond – '2-19'

8. The Beach Boys – 'Cabin Essence'

9. Kevin Morby - 'Slow Train'

10. The Smiths - 'Nowhere Fast'

11. Bo Diddley - 'Down Home Special'

12. 13th Floor Elevators - 'Roller Coaster' (LIVE 1966)
