Someone told me about a tune called Shady Grove the other day, said it's a Bluegrass tune that has a strong hint of Irish to it. Listened to a version by Doc Watson which is good, but this was also in the list

Not a theme tune but a jingle

Shady Grove is an old folk song, and there are many versions/variants. This is the rock version...

Another early hit from Depeche Mode which I probably didn't rate at the time it was released / in the charts, but sounds perfectly OK these days.

A song for Spring

[Cody]

Spring? Just a Season from Untitled, which is probably The Byrds' best album!

Followed by Eight Miles High from the same album.

There's some fine guitar work (and a great bass solo) in that track!

[Guest]

I used to think Eight Miles High was by The Who, probably got it confused with this

[Geraldine]

Something a bit...country?

[Cody]

Yeehaw!

[Cody]

A country version of a punk classic? How about a punk version of a country classic?

Interesting sound, Gary Holton & Casino Steel - Norwegian prog, with a Cockney twist.

Heard Elvis' Viva Las Vegas today, which reminded me of this

[Geraldine]

Its almost....

[Cody]

I should play Big Brother and the Holding Company's awesome cover of that, Geraldine, but hey...

[Cody]

On the same theme of love lost...

Folk watch football in the summer don't they Cody?

Poor Kirsty - mown down by some rich bastard in his speedboat!
Time for a cryin' song (which I might have played before)...

[Geraldine]

A tune for when those bastards are creeping about....

[Cody]

Pink Floyd were pretty good at atmospheric film soundtracks too - Zabriskie Point, La Vallée, and More...

Saw Kirsty MacColl live one time - singing 'A Fairytale of New York' at a Pogues concert. Here's one from her dad...
