| Artist | Track | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| Big Guitars from Texas | Hardy Street | |
| Marc Ribot y Los Cubanos Postizos | Aqui Como Alla | "Cuban Classics for the Post-Punk Generation" reads a sticker on the cover of this fine fine CD, from 1998 |
| Leo Kottke | Eight Miles High | |
| The Byrds | Universal Mind Decoder | This is an amazing Byrds jam, a bonus track on the CD reissue of the 1968 "Notorious Byrd Brothers" album. The song later became "Change is Now" and the rest is history. Says 10 minutes but is only 3! |
| Davy Graham | The Road to Lisdoonvana (Jig & Reel) | Died 12/15/08 |
| Davy Graham | Rennaissance Piece | All three songs here are from "Davey Graham: The Complete Guitarists" on Kicking Mule; the CD came out in 1999 although the songs were recorded in London in 1977. |
| Davy Graham | Hardiman the Fiddler | On all his other albums-- and in his obit-- his name is spelled without an E: Davy Graham |
| Flaco Jimenez w/ Lee Roy Parnell | Cat Walk | I once interviewed Flaco's brother Santiago Jr and he compared himself to his hermano by saying that he played Tex-Mex music and Flaco played rock & roll. Not quite but this tune rocks! |
| Marc Ribot y Los Cubanos Postizos | Aurora en Pekin | Started out as bed music, to talkover, but then it finished strong-- without me blabbing |
| Rodrigo y Gabriela | Diablo Rojo | |
| Robert Rodriguez | Mariachi vs. Marquez | From soundtrack to "Once Upon A TIme in Mexico" (milan, 2003) |
| Tito Larriva & Steven Hufsteter | Flor de Mal | Also on the Robert Rodriguez soundtrack album. I first heard of him when I saw David Byrnes' "True Stories" movie and Tito was with the Cruzados. Later Tito & the Tarantulas |
| Salma Hayek | Siente Mi Amor | More tough love, again from the movie. She's the actress but sings okay too |
| Tailgators | Malo Bueno | From "Swamp's UP" (Upstart, 1991) |
| Bobby Nelson | Crazy | Willie's sister, from the 2008 KGSR collection out of Austin, TX |
| Herb Ellis | Old Rugged Cross | Another song that started out as background and took over |
| Amboy Dukes | Baby, Please Don't Go | Just goes to show that even a creep like Ted Nugent can do a great song: even a broken clock is right twice a day! |
| Muddy Waters | Baby, Please Don't Go | The Man |
| Sonny Boy Williamson | Fattening Frogs for Snakes | |
| Los Straitjackets | Whittier Boulevard | Masks & suits & guitars, en espanol. Go figure. |
| Los Straitjackets | The Casbah | Snuck in here, not bad |
| Los Checkmates | Western Union | In English, says the cover. Okay, I'm a sucker for faux latin bands. |
| Muddy Waters | I Can't Be Satisfied | This was one of Muddy's first hits but this version was done in 1976, with Johnny Winter, Pinetop Perkins, etc. |
| John Boutte | Southern Man | Hot New Orleans "jazz" vocalist covers Neil Young, from a superb new album, "Good Neighbor" |
| John Boutte | Cutting Heads | Everybody's fave, keep your eye (& ear) open for him |
| John Boutte | Door Poppin' | I can't stop |
| Cubanismo w/ John Boutte | Rampart Street Rumba | John Boutte plays with hot Cuban band, on "Mardi Gras Mambo" (Hannibal, 2000) |
| Troy (Trombone Shorty) Andrews | Hey, Troy, Your Mama's Callin' You | From a nice post-Katrina compilation-- "Sing Me Back Home: The New Orleans Social Club"-- to promote this great city. |
| Los Hombres Calientes | Digidall | This is Bill Summers & Irvin Mayfield-- Jason Marsalis already left the band when they made this album-- with help from Horacio "El Negro" Hernandez: "New Congo Square" |
| Subdudes | Make A Better World | Another from "Sing Me Back Home" |
| Jelly Roll Morton & his New Orleans Jazzmen | I thought I Heard Buddy Bolden Say | Recorded 1939 with Sidney Bechet on sax |
| Edgar Meyer w/ Bela Fleck & Mike Marshall | By the River | "Uncommon Ritual" (Sony Classical, 1997) |
| Edgar Meyer w/ Bela Fleck & Mike Marshall | Big Country | This one written by Bela Fleck |
| Porter Waggoner | Big River Train | Omni Records recently put out a CD with 24 cuts from two albums, both from 1967: "The Cold Hard Facts of Life/Soul of a Convict" |
| Paul Clayton | Long John Long Gone | Did Dylan really worship this guy? They traveled together in 1964, visiting Carl Sandburg up in the Blue Ridge Mountains. He recorded two albums for Monument around that time but ended his life in 1967 |
| Odetta | No More Cane on the Brazos | A wonderful singer & a powerful presence, Odetta Holmes was born in Alabama in 1939 & died in NYC this past December |
| Ben Vaughn | I'm Sorry (But So Is Brenda Lee) | A Ben Vaughn original, from "Mood Swings ('90-'85 & More)" on Restless Records, 1992 |
| Flight of the Conchords | Inner City Pressure | Clever Kiwis do TV & music, although this bit was disappointing |
| C Dodd | Bionic Dub | No name, really, for the tune but it's from an tribute to Clement "Sir Coxsone" Dodd, the man behind Jamaica's Studio One. |
| Les Amazones De Guinee | Kania | This big band of talented women has a new CD on Sterns Music: "Wamato" (2008) |
| Blanket Mkhize | Gumboot 1993 | With Mgangabanye Zondi on concertina, Stehpen Shelembe is gumboot leader-- from "Gumboot Guitar: Zulu Street Guitar Music from South Africa" on Topic Records (2003) |
| The Movers | Bump Jive | Recorded in 1975, this is from a fine 2-CD collection with dozens of musicians called "Jazz Offerings From South Africa" (Gallo Record Company, 1999) |
| Swan Silvertones | Standing in the Safety Zone | Claude Jeter, leader of this fine gospel group, died in January and I guess he heads off to heaven while we hang around here |
| H Bomb Ferguson | Preachin' the Blues | Cincinnati's own r&b madman |
| Getatchew Mekurya | Shellela | This is the sax player who blew out Lincoln Center this summer; from "Ethiopiques" (Volume 14) on Buda Music out of Paris |
| Getatchew Mekurya | Aha Gedawo | Let me tell you what you heard and then I outta here; email me at stevek@wfmu for more. |

(checks wiki), the irony, i bought his shirley collins collaboration, "folk roots, new routes" 2 days after he died.
(i remember this b/c i went record shopping the day after my gf went home for xmas, and she frowns upon me splurging on records)
p.s. thanks, Cecile.

they do a nice metallica cover, too.
R&G used to be a thrash metal band and would play that stuff acoustically for the tourists...

when the band broke up, they went acoustic.

my gf would hate most of this music. she from northern mexico, and hates most 'mexican' musics (she was already a big wfmu fan when i met her when she was still an undergrad in monterrey, nuevo leon).
she has a sort of a self-depreciation mexican complex

I think this is still Los Straitjackets.
they used to have a game on their site, and this was the background music.

los checkmates may be a faux latin band, but most of my gf's friend's bands from monterrey, mx speak and sink in perfect english. (they teach classes there at the universities in monterrey in english).
