“Ooh baby, wanna put my log in your fireplace”

The second week of walking to work didn’t get started until today (yesterday the weather was crap and Monday was my birthday so I caught the bus both days). So here’s today’s list -

There:

  • “Fisherman’s Daughter” – Daniel Lanois
  • “Superstition” (Live) – Stevie Ray Vaughn and Double Trouble (A performance that really shows what a great band Double Trouble were)
  • “I Can’t Help It (If I’m Still in Love with You)” – Johnny Cash
  • “The Middle of the Road” – Alabama 3 (A surprisingly restrained song from their latest album)
  • “96 Tears” – The Stranglers
  • “If a Tree Falls” – Bruce Cockburn (Bruce the musical eco-warrior)
  • “Is That Love” – Squeeze
  • “The Longest Time” – Billy Joel

And back again:

  • “Morning Glory Wine” – Mark Lanegan (This would have fit in better on the way to work but it’s such a good song it’s always welcome)
  • “Burn Bitch Burn” – Kiss
  • “Rollercoaster” (Demo Version) – Robert Plant (I got a ticket to see Plant and Alison Krauss live for my birthday! Roll on May 5th)
  • “Green Ballet II” – Adrian Legg (Legg’s a great guitarist but this hasn’t really got a beat you can walk to)
  • “Tremor Christ” – Pearl Jam
  • “Lady Luck” – J.J. Cale (Now here’s a guitarist who writes songs that get you moving!)
  • “Tangled Up in Blue” – Bob Dylan (I love a good story song and this is a classic)

Today’s post title comes from “Burn Bitch Burn” by the one and only Gene Simmons and Kiss. But you probably guessed that, right?
