Joan Crawford- Blue Oyster Cult
Jesus Is Just Alright- The Doobie Brothers
Smoke & Fiction- X
I Know It's A Sin- Rocket Morgan
Pardon My Heart- Neil Young w/Crazy Horse
Little Green Bag- George Baker Selection
Bongo Man (A Come)- Jimmy Cliff
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!

Thanks for this mix, Sal!
Following on from the Cortez discussion earlier in the week, I made a quick edit to side one of Hawks and Doves. I think Cortez fits in nicely to that already weird album side. Take a listen:

That Jimmy Cliff, outstanding! Thank you Sal!
