Notes:
1. The second track on the terrific "Highway 61" album.
2. I hear this one a lot on Little Steven's Underground Garage.
3. From "The Village Preservation Society" album, which has really grown on me in recent years.
4. Recently Netflixed a great dvd, "Refuge of the Roads," about the tour that supported "Hejira," the album this is from.
5. Love these Detroit rockers!
6. We bought this one on Rock Band recently. I love singing this one.
7. This was from a Carole King tribute album that came out in the nineties. It's one of those rare covers that does justice to the original. Found myself playing both the original and cover during my two divorces. The line "Still I'm glad for what we had and how I once loved you" is one of my favorites ever.
8. A wryly humorous song from Peter Gabriel's first post-Genesis solo album.
9. Little Feat was formed when Frank Zappa recognized how good Lowell George was and told him he needed to leave the Mothers of Invention and form his own band. Thankfully he followed Zappa's advice.
10. Loved hearing this song on the radio when I was in high school in the late seventies. Of the three things, I was getting only Rock and Roll.

The Kinks are like that, aren't they? Nifty tracks all the way here.
p.s. saw somewhere that a movie is coming out about Ian Dury. Strange. But interesting.
I don't think you're busy enough Johnny.
The only Ian Drury and the Blockheads song that I have is Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick. I think I first heard of the from the Concert for the People of Kampuchea album.
Good luck with everything.
any list that has JOni MItchell is ok with me
