If you've been listening to Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday's mixes, you've heard a little country mixing in with the rest. That was the tip of the iceberg: I was introduced to so much great country music this year (almost entirely thanks to Setting the Woods on Fire), I had to dedicate an entire day's mix to it. If I had to pick just one or two tracks to urge you listen to... I'd have a really fucking hard time. But the Hank Willams, Buck Owens, and Lefty Frizzell tracks are all great fun. The John Hartford song is wonderful. If you liked the Dillard & Clark song on Monday or the Hearts & Flowers song yesterday, then be sure to check the Gene Clark & the Gosdin Brothers track today.
- Jimmie Rodgers: In The Jailhouse Now (1928)
- Lefty Frizzell: Always Late with Your Kisses (1951)
- Hank Williams: Long Gone Lonesome Blues (1952)
- The Louvin Brothers: If I Could Only Win Your Love (1959)
- George Jones: A Girl I Used To Know (1962)
- Buck Owens: I've Got a Tiger by the Tail (1964)
- Gene Clark & the Gosdin Brothers, Keep on Pushin' (1966)
- The International Submarine Band: Luxury Liner (1968)
- Bob Wills & His Texas Playboys: That's What I Like About the South (1973)
- John Hartford: In Tall Buildings (1976)
Bit by that country bug. This is a great playlist, I'm glad you found In Tall Buildings, that song kills me.
Hey my reissues of the year list is up, that's how you found my site last year, IIRC
