The Wild One- Johnny Horton
Got a random text from a friend with this song attached: "How good is this song?" Yeah, it's real good. I especially like the slight variation on the guitar riff each time it's played.

Action Packed- Ronnie Dee
Another one that came to me, this time as a Song Of The Day from our friend Snakeboy. Seemed like perfect timing after the Johnny Horton.

If You Let A Man Kick You Once- Henry Butler & Corey Harris
Been thinking a lot about New Orleans. I am missing those trips, those people, that food and that music. This is from "Vu-Du Menz" one of my very favorite New Orleans records. 

Slangshotz & Boomerangs- C.C. Adcock & Lafayette Marquis
Another of my essential New Orleans...well...Louisiana records.

Too Bad- Faces
This one popped up on the iPod and it just sounded so sloppy and nasty and perfect. So here it is.

Hammer To Fall- Queen
This one came out of my musical ADD. Chatting with a friend about Queen, and how they should have toured the USA when "The Works" was released. One thing led to another and the Lee Morgan record I was about to listen to was dropped like a hot potato so I could listen to "The Works" and soundtrack my chat. This is not only my favorite from the record, but one of my favorite Queen tunes of all.

Portland, Oregon- Loretta Lynn & Jack White
Caught a rerun of Dan Rather interviewing Jack White. When it was over, the things that bothered me about White and The Stripes still did. But, there was another side of Jack that I found endearing. Maybe we could be friends. I certainly love this Loretta Lynn album.

After a rough week, an excellent SOTW shows up - dependable as can be. Looking forward to checking it out. Thanks Sal!

I told Ian McLagan "Too bad" was my favorite Faces song. He was okay with that and liked his piano intro.
