- "Dead", by They Might Be Giants. Fred likes these guys. He has good taste.
- "Guantanamera", artist unknown. Or, as I used to sing it the first Christmas that I lived in Miami: One ton tomato!
- "Mercy Street" by Peter Gabriel. Another good pick, Mr. Fred.
- "Dear Prudence", covered by Dana Fuchs & Jim Sturgess from the "Across the Universe" soundtrack. A very, very nice version. I know it would be sacrilegious to say that anyone can do it better than the idyllic 4, so....I won't say it.
- "Rapid Roy", by Jim Croce. Gritty & dirty and oh so good. One of the great ones who died well before his time.
- "Something", by The Beatles. Maybe their collective spirit was offended by my earlier comment and forced Fred to play them? Freaky.
- "Pancho and Lefty" by Willie Nelson. Okay, this song starts out way too poppy for Willie. I had to look at Fred twice. You don't hear a wailing guitar until a minute into it.
- "Rock 'N Me" by Steve Miller Band. Another classic.
- "Do You Know What it Means to Miss New Orleans?" by Louis Armstrong. Unfortunately, thousands do.
- "Movin' On" by Bad Company. Nice finish to a nice list.
My favorite is # 4. Fellow bloggers (and guests), which was your favorite? Please leave a comment!

I would have to agree with your assesment Troy that the best song on your Shuffle is the Dear Prudence remake!
You still have to see that movie! Fantastic movie...
No question - my favorite - #9. Do you have it by Louis Armstrong by himself or the duet with Billie Holiday?
The duet is phenomenal!
