Ry Cooder’s “Tamp ‘Em Up Solid” is an updated rendition of a traditional American song that originated from railroad work chants. The earliest recorded versions are from 1930s field recordings made by John and Alan Lomax in the American south, including ones by ex-railroad workers Sam “Old Dad” Ballard and Henry Truvillion.
