Uncle John’s Band - Grateful Dead Acoustic studio version from Workingman’s Dead . A song that I just love to bits. This is the favourite version because I know it so well. If you like the song - listen to The Indigo Girls version too. (Bonus track - below)  The Thunder and Lighting Kid - Man (from Rhinos Winos and Lunatics) Bit out of the way, this one.  Starts out a little odd - then converts into great energy music. From an album that has stayed with me since …. whenever. Hardly a duff one on the whole record. A good excuse to introduce new listeners to it. Produced by Roy Thomas Baker - known for working with Queen. Black Water - Doobie Brothers Not everyone’s favourite source - but this track just gets me. An acoustic guitar delight. Built around one riff - the variations are nicely done. Catchy tune, smooth lead singing voice, the break slips in and then a cool ending with some really choice vocals. Carry On - CSNY Well, I could have easily chosen more than one from these guys. They just nailed it every time. We all know it. Cathy’s Clown - Everly Brothers You can’t leave out the Everlys. Two voices - clear and precise. A beautiful example of how to do it well. Siblings have that extra 'thing' that can’t be easily replicated - except, perhaps, CSNY above? Bonus track - Uncle John’s Band - The Indigo Girls See which you like the best
