Mark Estes (who recorded the songs and made the photos for the John Gorka videosite) about these two songs:

At the Tulsa show the night before, John asked if I had any requests for Norman. "The Mercy of the Wheels" is of my personal favorites and since the show took place at the Depot, I thoug...ht it a fitting choice. Unfortunately, I didn't catch the intro with this video b/c he switched into it so fast. Why? The background noise you here is actually a train rattling past the Depot. Very special moment and as it turned out, I got 2 train songs for the price of 1. Coming up later - "I Don't Feel Like a Train Anymore" with the Amtrak in the background and I believe I caught the train whistle on this one as well. What a night!
