Richard Shindell - Are You Happy Now. Simply the best Halloween song. Ever. From Sparrows Point (Purchase @ Amazon).
Van Ghost - Summer Promise. Great song by the Chicago alt. country band. Find out more at their MySpace page.
Chris Knight - North Dakota. The always excellent Chris Knight, from the also excellent bootleg Lexington, Kentucky, December 30, 2006. (Purchase Chris Knight records @ Amazon)
Wrinkle Neck Mules - Whiskey Jars. From the highly recommended 2004 record, Minor Enough (Purchase @ Amazon).
Lloyd Cole and The Commotions - Rattlesnakes. She says that a girl needs a gun these days, hey on account of all the rattlesnakes. She looks like Eve Marie Saint in On the Waterfront, as she reads Simone de Beauvoir in her American circumstance. Awesome.
Poco - Just in Case It Happens, Yes Indeed. Another excellent Richie Furay number from Poco’s 1969 masterpiece, Pickin’ Up the Pieces (Purchase @ Amazon).
Buffalo Springfield - Kind Woman. The excellent Richie Furay number from Buffalo Springfield’s occasionally overlooked and underloved Last Time Around (1968) (Purchase @ Amazon).
Steve Goodman - You Never Even Called Me by My Name. Great song, by the guy who wrote it. Live from June 6, 1983, Houston, Teas. Via the excellent A Truer Sound.
Big Star - Way Out West. From the legendary album Radio City (1974).
These Days - Gregg Allman. The best version of this great Jackson Browne-penned song. From Laid Back (1973).
The Connells - ‘74-‘75. From the hard to find album Ring (1993). Will Truman reminded me today of this excellent song, from one of my favorite bands back in the day. This is also, quite possibly, the best music video ever made.
Doop & the Inside Outlaws - My Fault. Excellent song from Everett Belcher, the newest release from Don “Doop” Duprie and his band. Doop is a veteran firefighter and rocker from the Motor City. Other gems on this record include the title track and Saturday. Available at CCNow.
Sam Hart - Mario Kart Love Song. Yes, it’s whimsical and about a (fantastic) Wii game. But it is also one hell of a song. Available at CD Baby and iTunes.
