Punch Brothers, Rye Whisky
Lonely Heartstring Band, Ramblin' Gamblin' Willy
Bonnie Owens, Philadelphia Lawyer
Cowboy Jack Clement, A Girl I Used to Know
Bobby Bare, Lullabies, Legends, and Lies
Brewer and Shipley, One Toke Over Line. Forgot how good this song is!
The Flying Burrito Brothers, To Ramona. A very nice cover of a song from Dylan's fourth album, Another Side of Bob Dylan.
John Fogerty and the Blue Ridge Rangers, You're the Reason
The Springfields, Silver Threads and Golden Needles
Ramblin' Jack Elliot, Roving Gambler. 'Ramblin' Charles Adnopoz' lacking the requisite resonance for a follower of Woody Guthrie, this Jewish son of a New York M.D. wisely changed his name.
Joan Baez, Rock Salt and Nails
Patsy Cline, She's Got You
Simon and Garfunkel, The Dangling Conversation. A lovely song, if a bit pretentious. Paul Simon was an English major.
And we spoke of things that matter
With words that must be said.
Can analysis be worthwhile?
Is the theater really dead?
Beatles, We Can Work It Out. Listen for the time signature change from 4/4 to 3/4. Knowing a little music theory adds to one's enjoyment.
Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, You Really Got a Hold on Me
Barbara Lynn, You'll Lose a Good Thing. Her moves and appearance are reminsicent of Jimi Hendrix — or the other way around. Check out how she strums that left-handed Telecaster.
EmmyLou Harris, Save the Last Dance for Me. That's one big guitar.
Marty Robbins, Blue Spanish Eyes. What a wimpy guitar!
Dalida, O Sole Mio. Das Ewig-Weibliche zieht uns hinan! Che bella donna!
Melina Mercouri, Never on Sunday. Ditto!
Nana Mouskouri, Farewell Angelina. One of Bob Dylan's most haunting songs. Hats off in homage to the angel-throated ladies such as Nana and Joan, but nothing touches the mood & magic of Dylan's spare mid-60s renditions such as this one.
Freddy Fender, Cielito Lindo. Tex-Mex version of a very old song.
Marty Robbins, La Paloma. Another old song dating back to 1861.
