Assorted Medicines for the End Times

A sunrise song by Joseph Rael (Beautiful Painted Arrow)

A good way to start the day.

Paramahansa Yogananda chanting OM

There’s an added echo here but you get to hear Paramahansa saying ‘I, Paramahansa Yogananda, am praying — pray with me.’

Hopi Radio

Cowboy and Indian music and everything else under the sun, with announcements in Hopi and English, this is my absolute favorite radio station.

The true heir to Hank Williams.

Boots of Spanish Leather’ by Bob Dylan

‘To make your time more easy passin.’

Let’s Twist Again’ by Chubby Checker

From my perspective a kind of melancholy song and Chubby’s pretty fetching and not so chubby in this live version.

Tears on My Pillow’ by Little Anthony

Complete with a person dropping actual liquid from a bottle onto a pillow.

Goin’ Back to Harlan by Emmylou Harris

Emmylou is ever a panacea.
