Artist Track Comments
Big Guitars from Texas  Hardy Street   Favoriting  
Marc Ribot y Los Cubanos Postizos  Aqui Como Alla   Favoriting "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   Favoriting  
The Byrds  Universal Mind Decoder   Favoriting 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)   Favoriting Died 12/15/08 
Davy Graham  Rennaissance Piece   Favoriting 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   Favoriting 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   Favoriting 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   Favoriting Started out as bed music, to talkover, but then it finished strong-- without me blabbing

Robert Rodriguez  Mariachi vs. Marquez   Favoriting From soundtrack to "Once Upon A TIme in Mexico" (milan, 2003)

Amboy Dukes  Baby, Please Don't Go   Favoriting 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!

Sonny Boy Williamson  Fattening Frogs for Snakes   Favoriting  
Los Straitjackets  Whittier Boulevard   Favoriting Masks & suits & guitars, en espanol. Go figure. 
Los Straitjackets  The Casbah   Favoriting Snuck in here, not bad

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).
