One of several songs about trains in the Cooder canon, this is from the 1972 album Boomer’s Story.

Live version from 1986 of the classic Rain Dogs track.

Commencing a short season about rail travel, a lovely 1993 live version of the Elizabeth Cotten song which Taj originally featured on his 1977 album Music Fuh Yuh. /

After yesterday’s Jonathan Richman versions, here is one from Bowie in the 21st century. Followed by the Igster using four strings to full advantage.

Great picture montage to accompany Jonathan Richman’s classic from 1972. And here’s a live version from 2007. Dig the crazy dance and the Spanish guitar flourishes.

Live Seventies version of my favourite Man song. I saw them in Newcastle in 1974, with the American John Cipollina guesting on guitar. They were great.

Live version of the title track from the album with Andy Murray on the cover.

After a series of rock-outs, something a bit more serene for a Monday morning – Brian Eno’s collaboration with the Germans in 1977.

Rory and the lads on top form at the 1970 Isle of Wight Festival.

One of the great Feat songs, recorded live in Germany, 1977. The visuals aren’t up to much but the music’s just fine. And here’s a live version by Linda Ronstadt.
