  1. Thrown like a star in my vast sleep
    I open my eyes to take a peep
    To find that I was by the sea
    Gazing with tranquillity.
    ‘Twas then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
    Came singing songs of love,
    Then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
    Came singing songs of love.

  2. 1. Lambchop, “Nashville Parent”
    2. Southern Culture on the Skids, “Camel Walk”
    3. Dead Kennedys, “I Fought the Law”
    4. Cut Chemist, “Bunky’s Pick”
    5. Curtis Mayfield, “Keep On Trippin'”
    6. Rose Royce, “Born to Love You”
    7. Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, “Scorpio”
    8. Yo La Tengo, “You Can Have It All”
    9. The Amps, “Pacer”
    10. The Plugz, “Hombre Secreto (Secret Agent Man)”

  4. 1) Norman Blake: I Am A Man Of Constant Sorrow
    2) Jimi Hendrix: Voodoo Child (Slight Return)

    4) Red Hot Chili Peppers: Funky Monks
    5) Pink Floyd: Goodbye Blue Sky

    8) Roger Waters: 4:41 AM (Sexual Revolution)
    9) The Pretenders: Back On The Chain Gang
    10) Beck: Jack Ass

    This is an odd lineup for me. No blues and no bagpipes in ten songs. The Waters song is great. Writing from the bottom of a well of pain, on his oft-forgotten solo album “Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking,” Sexual Revolution has some of his most cutting lyrics:

    “Hey, girl/As I’ve always said I prefer your lips red/ Not what the Good Lord made/ But what He intended.”
