Nice list with a groovy retro vibe going on here. Let's hope others can keep the Dusty in Memphis thing going.
oops, Tomorrow Never Knows by the Beatles of course
Generik, sorry if we dumped on your god last week.
Free, sorry I wasn't Dusty this morning. And which TKN version?
Free, you beat me to it. There is the live 801 version (which some of us have only on vinyl). One more reason to try that conversion turntable again.
No need to apologize, George (or anyone else). I didn't claim Clapton *was* god, I just said he's about as close as I'll ever acknowledge. That's still a pretty long way away.
Anyway, everyone has different tastes. I once ate a wombat...
Freealonzo, I share your appreciation of the Dusty in Memphis album. Probably -- no, definitely -- her best ever.

Songs appealing to my darkness, with a few mixed in to keep me from taking it as far as Elliot. Yeah, I've got that 801 on vinyl, and TNK and Third Uncle were the songs that hooked me so, so long ago, which makes my bonus so apropos.

3. "Lonesome Suzie" - The Band - Music From Big Pink
4. "You're Still Standing There" - Steve Earle - I Feel Alright
5. "Northstar Blues" - Magnolia Electric Co. - What Comes After the Blues
6. "Baby Let Me Follow You Down" - Bryan Ferry - Dylanesque
7. "Hazy Jane II" - Nick Drake - Bryter Layter
8. "Freakin' Out" - Graham Coxon - Happiness in Magazines
9. "re: Stacks" - Bon Iver - For Emma, Forever Ago
10."O-o-h Child" - The Five Stairsteps - The Best Of
bonus--"Breaking In My Heart" - Television - Double Exposure (bootleg)
Everyone brought some goodies today. Very nice to the Deadstring Brothers and Richard Davies tracks pop up. Two underrated (and obscure) acts.
*I'd misspelled underrated on the first go around. Probably didn't require a deletion...
Ooh, and a swell track by The Wrens from Marty.
I also have a real cool cover of Tomorrow Never Knows by Danielle Dax.
