"I Don't Want To Go Home" was first released, like yours truly, in December 1969 by Sir Douglas Quintet. This mix includes their single version, their slightly slower version from their 1970 album Together After Five as well as covers by Dale Watson and The Lemonheads.
"Tower Of Song" was written by Leonard Cohen for his 1988 album I'm Your Man. This mix includes that with a contemporaneous cover by The Jesus & Mary Chain as well as a cover from a decade later by Marianne Faithfull as well as one by Willie Nelson recorded last year.
One other song repeats on the mix: Connie Converse's "Sorrow Is My Name", with a cover by Karen O.
The rest: Gary Higgins' lost 70s classic "I Pick The Notes From The Sky", Bill Haley & The Comets' early rock single "Oriental Rock", Albert Ayler's aptly-titled "Love Cry", the AIDS charity album track "Flying High In The Brooklyn Sky" by Digable Planets, Gwen McRae's funky "90% Of Me Is You", Black Thought's Marvin Gaye-sampling "Conception", The Miller Sisters' playful "Pop Your Fingers (Hully Gully Dance)", Gang Starr's wise "Advice 2 You", The Swan Silvertones' fiery "If You Believe Your God Is Dead", Lou Reed's television soundtrack song "You'll Know You Were Loved", Bohannon's atmospheric "Thoughts And Prayers" Francis Lai's French film soundtrack hit "Un Homme Et Tu Un Femme".
