On “Live at San Quentin”, Cash and his band play the 1924 ballad “Wreck of the Old 97”, about the 1903 train crash.
During two of the instrumental passages, there is a sound like a train whistle.
I assume it was a vocal effect, like Jimmy Rodgers does at the beginning of “Waiting on a Train”? If so, anyone know how it was done?
Or was it done with a device (like that whistle thing that Michael Scott had on his desk in “The Office”)?
