X - Fourth of July [SEE HOW WE ARE/Slash] A little obvious? Maybe. Still a GREAT song, and I sure as hell haven't heard it on the radio in years ... written by Dave Alvin THE BLASTERS - American Music [AMERICAN MUSIC/Hightone] More from those devilishly talented Alvin boys. RANDY NEWMAN - Political Science [SAIL AWAY/Reprise] One of my favorite ... um, patriotic songs. Eerily relevant today. NEIL YOUNG - Rockin' in the Free World [FREEDOM/Reprise] Himself and acoustic guitar. BLACK 47 - Living in America [FIRE OF FREEDOM/EMI] DOLORES KEANE and MICK HANLY - My Love Is In America [BRINGING IT ALL BACK HOME/BBC-Hummingbird] Two songs of the Irish emigrant experience in America about a dozen years ago. Nowadays they're mostly staying home, enjoying the booming economy of "The Celtic Tiger" and not writing so many sad songs, which I guess is a good thing. JAY UNGAR - Ashokan Farewell [THE CIVIL WAR: ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK RECORDING/Elektra-Nonesuch] A really sweet tune that you probably haven't heard in a few years, and quintessentially American. STEVE RILEY & THE MAMOU PLAYBOYS - Lovers' Waltz [TRACE OF TIME/ Rounder] A gorgeous cover of a tune by Jay Ungar. ANY OLD TIME STRING BAND - Turkey Buzzard/Chinquapin Hunting [I BID YOU GOODNIGHT/Arhoolie] HOWARD ARMSTRONG - Ted's Stomp [LOUIE BLUIE/Arhoolie] GRATEFUL DEAD - U. S. Blues [FROM THE MARS HOTEL/MFSL] RALPH STANLEY - The Death of John Henry [RALPH STANLEY/DMZ-Columbia] THE FLATLANDERS - My Wildest Dreams Grow Wilder Every Day [NWO AGAIN/ New West] HANK WILLIAMS - Long Gone Lonesome Blues [THE BEST OF THE EARLY YEARS/ Polygram] Good Lord, listen to that man yodel! BUCK OWENS and ROSE MADDOX - Mental Cruelty [HILLBILLY MUSIC .. THANK GOD! VOL. 1/Bug-Capitol] A country compilation produced by Marshall Crenshaw. THE LOUVIN BROTHERS - The Great Atomic Power [CAPITOL COUNTRY MUSIC CLASSICS: THE LOUVIN BROTHERS/Capitol] UNCLE TUPELO - Satan, Your Kingdom Must Come Down [MARCH 16-20, 1992/ Rockville] Soon to be re-released on Columbia-Legacy ... whoo! DWIGHT DILLER - Waynesboro [HARVEST: WEST VIRGINIA MOUNTAIN MUSIC/self- release] CORDELIA'S DAD - Texas Rangers [how can i sleep?/Omnium] CORDELIA'S DAD - Leave Your Light On [HOW IT IS/Kimchee] CORDELIA'S DAD - Brethren Sing [HOW IT IS/Kimchee] D.

MENARD & THE LOUISIANA ACES - La Porte d'en Arrière (The Back Door) [J'AI ÉtÉ AU BAL: THE CAJUN AND ZYDECO MUSIC OF LOUISIANA, VOL. 1/Arhoolie] MARC & ANN SAVOY - J'ai Fait Une Grosse Erreur (I Made A Big Mistake) [J'AI ÉtÉ AU BAL: THE CAJUN AND ZYDECO MUSIC OF LOUISIANA, VOL. 1/Arhoolie] THE BLUERUNNERS - Nonc Tête Dûre (Uncle Hardhead) [LE GRAND BLEU/Louisiana Red Hot] CLÉOMA BREAUX FALCON - Prenez Courage (Take Courage) [LOUISIANA CAJUN MUSIC, VOLUME 3: THE EARLY 30s/Old-Timey] CHRIS THOMAS KING - If It Ain't One Thang, It's Two [RED MUD/Black Top] COREY HARRIS with CHRIS SEVERIN - Sweet Black Angel [WWOZ ON CD: GUARDIANS OF THE GROOVE, VOL. 7/WWOZ-FM] Recorded January 11, 1997 at the Funky Butt, Congo Square, New Orleans.
