Joan Crawford- Blue Oyster Cult
(I was never a fan of novelty songs, but this classic is much more than that.)

Jesus Is Just Alright- The Doobie Brothers
(I prefer the Doobies version over the Byrds)

Smoke & Fiction- X
("I still pray a little bit, but there's no saint for this.")

I Know It's A Sin- Rocket Morgan
(This one is from deep in the swamps of Louisiana. Rocket Morgan recorded a few excellent records before finding God and giving up music. Idiot.)

Pardon My Heart- Neil Young w/Crazy Horse

(My fave off "Zuma." Am I the only one who thinks "Cortez The Killer" belongs on a different album? Great song, but it ruins the flow of this album...for me.)

Little Green Bag- George Baker Selection
(Been a minute since I heard this one.)

Bongo Man (A Come)- Jimmy Cliff 

(Many versions of this track, including of few by Cliff himself. This one is the one.)

Love your appraisal of Rocket Morgan.

I've got a couple of tracks by Rocket somewhere in my digital library - this is a new one... and a great one!

Nice to hear some rockabilly on BW!
