The first mix of the year features Big Star's draft-dodging anthem "The Ballad Of El Goodo": the original version and a rare alternate version as well as a cover by Evan Dando.
Also appearing three times is "Darlin' Companion" by The Loving Spoonful, with a solo demo by their lead singer John Sebastian and a live duet cover by Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash performed at San Quentin Prison.
One other song repeats: Bill Withers' "Use Me", with covers by Esther Phillips and Scott Walker. Also on here is the original version of "Ain't No Sunshine" by Bill Withers.
The version of Andre 3000's "Pink And Blue" on here is the same version on his Outkast album The Love Below, without the brief noisy intro.
The rest: the synthesizer-driven "Never Want To See You Low" by 80s band Twilight, the cocky "Gucci Time" by Schooly D, a live version of "Hurricane" by Bob Dylan & The Rolling Thunder Revue, a cover of Johnny Cash's "I Walk The Line" by The Everly Brothers, a cover of The Rolling Stones" "Miss You" by Etta James, the Isley Brothers-sampling "Breaker 1-9" by Common, the brief piano ballad "Never Felt Like This Before" by Paul Westerberg, the atmospheric "Taxi Nocturno" by Alexis Krygier, Charlie Parker's studio take of the standard "Lover Man", the wistful "I've Lost My Head Over You" by Baby Hines, and Iggy Pop performing a live acoustic version of "Beside You".
