Category: A’s Track of the Day

A live version with banjo (yay!) from 1968.

OK, Mozza’s something of a wally but those old Smiths singles definitely had something about them.

Live Eighties version of the lovely song from 1963’s The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan.

This was a bonus track on the 2001 reissue of 1970’s If I Could Do It All Over Again . . . Maurice was one of the band’s roadies.

Excellent cover of the Neil Young song from On The Beach. Is it my imagination or does the banjo player look like David Lindley?

Lovely sentimental song from the pen of Kris Kristofferson.

One of the best tracks from the Jumblequeen album. Sadly, there are some clunkers too, in particular Sweet Painted Lady written by none other than Dame Elton.

Can’t believe the great FZ has been dead nearly 30 years . . .

Lovely Incredibles-influenced curio from 1972. I came upon this via the excellent ‘underground folk’ compilation album Dust on the Nettles.

A love song for her future husband Fred ‘Sonic’ Smith, this comes from the album Wave, produced by none other than Todd Rundgren.
