Comment:
In America, and if of my generation, one MUST listen to "Alice's Restaurant" on Thanksgiving day. Accordingly, Arlo's song to end the draft is the centerpiece of this compilation. I begin with three songs about autumn, two songs about Thanksgiving day (both by Brits, interestingly), Alice, a run of songs about food (7 through 15), and end with three songs to begin the Christmas music season. Enjoy!
Feedback:
excellent feast love the centerpiece.
Excellent work Artie. A fave Kinks pick, along with the Zappa & King Curtis. And track 16 is an all time fave, though I refuse to listen to it at least for another few weeks!
"Doc, I wanna kill." Haven't heard that song in a while, and actually if I never have to sit thru the 30 minutes of Alice's Restaurant again, I will be OK. ;-) Rest of the mix looks like a holiday treat.
Very nice, indeed. Wonder if anyone will notice if I put it on during dinner? And five stars just for the eclectic mix of artists. From Leon to the Waitresses.
Love this. The 6-12 and 14-15 runs are delicious.
Absolutely wonderful for driving about and enjoying the autumn foliage.
Tarnation, I missed this one for thanxgiving 2006 - but could I maybe trade you something so as to have it ready for Thanxgiving 2007?
(I don't bump into "Alice's Restaurant" on too many mixes, I guess for fairly obvious reasons of time constraints . . . )
