Wow that was almost a year old.

Anyway, that song is originally by a folk artist prominent mostly in the late 50s-early 60s by the name of Jimmie Driftwood. It's been covered by several other artists, including Johnny Cash and Doc Watson. The version I was talking about was the Johnny Cash version, and if I remember correctly it was on the Jackie Brown soundtrack.

Ah, I'll check out the Cash version. I didn't know if it was the same song or not.

Currently in my CD player: a mix of Bob Schneider and Rufus Wainwright. They go together like peas and carrots, actually.

Gg, I noticed you weren't sure about one singer on your mix tape, and by an amazing stroke of luck, I KNOW WHO IT IS! So I've filled in the name. I'm sure it's been bothering you for years, happy to help! ;P

I don't know anything about Bob Schneider but Rufus Wainwright is great :). I will probably be seeing his dad Loudon Wainwright III live in August.

Just some bands on there....

Bright Eyes
Neutral Milk Hotel
Sun Kill Moon
Modest Mouse
My Morning Jacket
Belle and Sebastian
Simon and Garfunkel
Iron and Wine
The Decemberists
The Faint
The Brian Jonestown Massacre

Bob Schneider does sort of bluesey, laid back tunes with some catchy lyrics. He's downloadable for a taste.

I want to know what you think of Rufus' daddy. I just learned last weekend that he was the guitar player who occasionally turned up in episodes of M*A*S*H*. How cool is that?!

Yeah he was also in Big Fish. Are you familiar with his music? If not check out A Live One for a good overview of some of his best stuff.

On tinymixtape.com someone requested I mixtape that would make people think they were cool. one of the mixtape robots (which I also used to be for a little while) replied by posting a tracklisting with the note: I would think you were cool if you played these songs for me. I decided to make my own mix like that.

1. Waitin' For The Bus - Violent Femmes
2. Whiskey In The Jar - Thin Lizzy
3. A Fond Farewell - Elliott Smith
4. Wait Until Tomarrow - Jimi Hendrix
5. The Way It Should Be (Sha Sha) - Ben Kweller

16. Long, Long, Long - The Beatles
17. Sweet Black Angel - The Rolling Stones

I checked him out and so far I like him quite a bit. Thanks for the recommendation. He sounds a bit like Jack Johnson who is also well worth checking out if you haven't heard him.

P.S. "Blue Skies For Everyone" sounds kinda like a Tom Waits song (only optimistic) :). Nifty.
