The Smiths: Heaven Knows I’m Miserable Now
OK, Mozza’s something of a wally but those old Smiths singles definitely had something about them.
Bob Dylan: Girl From The North Country
Live Eighties version of the lovely song from 1963’s The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan.
Caravan: A Day in the Life of Maurice Haylett
This was a bonus track on the 2001 reissue of 1970’s If I Could Do It All Over Again . . . Maurice was one of the band’s roadies.
The Be Good Tanyas: For the Turnstiles
Excellent cover of the Neil Young song from On The Beach. Is it my imagination or does the banjo player look like David Lindley?
Leo Kottke: Here Comes That Rainbow Again
Lovely sentimental song from the pen of Kris Kristofferson.
Bridget St John: Long Long Time
One of the best tracks from the Jumblequeen album. Sadly, there are some clunkers too, in particular Sweet Painted Lady written by none other than Dame Elton.
Frank Zappa: Treacherous Cretins
Can’t believe the great FZ has been dead nearly 30 years . . .
