Excellent play list. I like Neil Young in the heat too - especially On The Beach.
1. Neil Young: Zuma (1975)
2. Flying Burrito Brothers: The Gilded Palace of Sin (1969)
3. Gram Parsons: Sleepless Nights (1976)
4. Flying Burrito Brothers: Burrito Deluxe (1970)
5. Bob Dylan with The Band: Planet Waves (1974)
6. Bonnie Raitt: Give It Up (1972)
7. Manassas: Down the Road (1973)
I listened to Neil Young this weekend as well but it was "Tonight's the Night." I must have listened to it four times over then it became too much of a downer. So I switched over to Can's "Soon over Babaluma" which I recently acquired from an old fashioned type, independent, walk-in music store[nice experience]. I've also been listening to David Crosby's "If I could only remember my name," V.S.O.P's "Live Under The Sky," and Grant Green's "Alive" album. Yeah, I live in the past. For me music pretty much died in the 80s with a few flashes of hope in the 90s and 00s.
Stephen,Quite a nicely unified set. Bonnie Raitt would appear to be the ringer. I rarely (actually,just about never) play so much of one artist at one time. This is so even though I tend to want everything that's been recorded by artists I like. I like them to be a recurring presence over months or years. The Grateful Dead's American Beauty would fit in nicely here, as would The Fantastic Voyage Of... by Dillard and Clark.
