Comment:
A tough state. Aside from Freedy Johnston's horribly bitter "Tucumcari" there isn't a lot out there. Ended up going with the themes of the desert and UFOs, and including several songs by my friend Steve -- both addressed to an ex-girlfriend of his with whom we stayed in Albuquerque. For more info on this series, see "Washington, DC."Feedback:
interesting. i was gonna say new mexico was the stomping grounds of one william h. bonny (billy the kid) but you totally knew that
The Petty song is really rpetty rockin'. Curiously, I didn't know it when I made the mix -- just put the song on because it sounded vaguely "southwestern." But on our trip we actually stopped at Bonny's gravesite, which made me feel prescient and cool.
