One of the sweetest songs from the great folk music scare of the 60s: YouTube - Tim Buckley Buzzin Fly - Radio Toast for Cancer Research. Tim Buckley died from a heroin overdose in 1975.
Music on my iPod, YouTube, or old-fashioned radio.

The 100 Greatest Guitar Songs of All Time : Rolling Stone
Mostly, lists such as this, The 100 Greatest Guitar Songs of All Time : Rolling Stone, are kindling for arguments, particularly if you try to claim that "You Really Got Me" is eight places better than "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)". Nevertheless, there's a lot of good stuff here.
Via Fark Music, who reports "It proves, once again, submitter's theory that 60s music > 70s music > 80s music > 90s music > 00s music."

Ozzy Osbourne › Crazy Train
I accidentally cut the antenna lead on my satellite radio while I was load pallets into the back of my car. So, now, I'm left with terrestrial radio. Mostly, it's pretty bleak so I scan a lot stations. Last night, my meanderings brought me to WHJY 95.5 out of Providence. This Ozzy song caught my attention, but the banter between the DJ and sidekick was quite forgettable.

Hayes Carll - A Lover Like You
It's got that jangly style of Dylan's Blonde on Blonde with the Austin, wise-guy redneck twang.

David Bromberg - Mr. Bojangles
David Bromberg played guitar in Jerry Jeff Walker's band while Mr. Bojangles was JJW's big hit. (It was an even bigger hit for the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.) IMO, Bromberg's version is much better, his voice cracking at all the right turns.
