This mix from a year ago is bookended with a couple versions of that classic rock staple "Freebird" by Lynyrd Sykynrd: the original and a demo take. Feel free to hold your lighter aloft as you listen to this mix. But I guess people don't do that anymore--they hold up cell phones instead.
The old 60s hit "Fortune Teller" is on here a bunch of times: along with contemporaneous versions by Benny Spellman, The Rolling Stones and the Tony Jackson Group I've included a recent version by Robert Plant and Alison Krauss.
"True Nasty" is a mash up by The Mr Rusty Collective of Q-tip's "For The Nasty" featuring Busta Rhymes with "True Affection" by The Blow. All of these are on here.
Other stuff: the vaguely psychedelic "Lazy Old Sun" by The Kinks, the blissful "Mysterious Vibes" by The Blackbyrds, Dana Dane's witty Dazz-sampling "Cinderfella", the rhythmic "Ba Ba Boom" by The Jamaicans, De La Soul's funky "Ego Trippin' (Part Two)", Tom Waits' harrowing "Starving In The Belly Of A Whale", the sweet "Opportunity" by The Jewels, Stevie Wonder's wistful "Summer Soft", a live version of Jackson Browne's standard "These Days" by Elliot Smith, and Bob Dylan's apocalyptic "Desolation Row".
