That was another band which made a lot of covers. Many of the bands from the 50s-70s did..The Hollie’s, Herman’s Hermits..it’s hard to tell who sang the original sometimes.

I have been trying to locate a song called “Freight Train” sung by a band in the approx style of The Hollies have, but it was clearly a cover going by its Wiki entry:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freight_Train_(folk_song)

I can’t find the cover I am looking for. If anyone knows which one it is, I’d like to know..
Thanks
