I'm So Green- Can
Shining In The Light- Jimmy Page/Robert Plant
Led Zeppelin fans were crushed after listening to the long awaited Page & Plant reunion "Walking Into Clarksdale." It wasn't bad. It just wasn't very good. I always loved the opener, which I think is the closest thing to vintage Zep on the album.
All God's Children- Jason Falkner
I posted about JF on Instagram, tagged him and asked "Where's the new album?" He saw the post and liked it, but he didn't answer the question. Another deep cut will have to do for now.
Shilo- Neil Diamond
One of my two favorite Neil tracks from the Bang years. The other is the Song Of The Day.
Una Forma De Arco Iris- Los Shakers
If you bought the second volume of "The White Label Promo Preservation Society," you will read about Los Shakers 1967 psych masterpiece "La Conferencia Secreta Del Toto's Bar." There is a fantastic reissue out there on the Guerssen label. This track is a favorite, which borrows more than a little from another psych masterpiece, "Gone Is The Sad Man" by Timebox. (If none of this means anything to you, just listen to the song.)
You Won't See Me- The Clarendonians
This track is not on The Best Of The Clarendonians, one of my very favorite reggae records, though it should be. If you dig this cover, you must listen to more Clarendonians
Lonesome Whistle Blues- Nick Curran & The Nitecaps
I love the blues...when it's done right. When it's done right...it doesn't all sound the same. I prefer acoustic country blues like Mance Lipscomb, Snooks Eaglin, Reverend Gary Davis, Blind Blake. I do love electric blues, especially when played by Peter Green. Nick Curran isn't a blues artist, but when he plays it, he nails it.
I'm So Green- Can
You may think you're not a fan of Can, but I bet you'll love this track.
