Monday Morning Rock (Belated Edition)

Forgot that we hadn't posted Monday's tunes. (Yeah, like you know what day of the week it is anyway.)

Let's...Hit...Shuffle!

Dan Zanes - Cuckoo Waltz
The Beatles - Junk (Esher Demo)
Bob Dylan - Quinn The Eskimo (The Mighty Quinn)
Dwight Yoakam - Honky Tonk Man
Yes - Roundabout
Buena Vista Social Club - El Carretero
The Jayhawks - Poor Little Fish
BeauSoleil - Valerie
Tegan and Sara - Closer
Old Crow Medicine Show - Just Like a Woman

Bonus 11
Elton John - Crocodile Rock

We've gone on at length about Dan Zanes' wonderful Parades and Panoramas album of songs from Carl Sandburg's Great American Songbag. It came out a few months before Springsteen's Seeger Sessions album and was so loose and fun that it made the latter sound like Bruce was telling you to eat your vegetables. Sir Paul tries out a tune during the White Album prep that would eventually land on his first solo record. BeauSoleil cover a Richard Thompson tune, and the OCMS tune is from their excellent live romp through Blonde on Blonde, which is every bit as loose and fun as the aforementioned Zanes record.

Also, the iPod Touch is apparently aware that we're currently reading Sir Elton's autobiography. (Apple just knows stuff, I tell ya.)

We now return you to This Week's Discussion Question ("25th Amendment, anyone?"), already in progress.
