Been studying the guitar work of pioneer gospel (but really a forerunner of rock) guitarist Sister Rosetta Tharpe and came across a video of her accompanied by Big Walter Horton with the Chicago Blues Allstars.
It's identified as "That's All" but also includes her famous "Didn't It Rain."
What's worth listening to on the medley is the tasteful harp work throughout.

Rosette was not the first to record This Train but had a hit with it in 1939 and recorded it again in 1950.
It was the basis for Little Walter"s 1955 famous "My Babe."
