The Big Rock Candy Mountains by Harry McClintock
Almost a hundred years old.

Listen to its entirety. It is hilarious. A hobo paradise.

I see it was also the intro song in Oh Brother Where Art Thou.

Ary Borroso's "Brazil" as performed by Django Reinhardt

First heard it on a YouTube channel or video for "easy listening while sitting on a porch in the rain" and I think that fits perfectly.



I agree. Great ambience.

The Association's version of "One Too Many Mornings" which was written by Bob Dylan. Had never heard it, but kinda dig it. Production on the album version is bad, even for 1960s, but it's better than Dylan's original version.

Rhythm of the Road by Michael Martin Murphey. It's standard folk and what? That's Willie.

Skull Crusher Mountain by Jonathan Coulton

Just five or so years old, but I just heard it on a podcast I listen to.

So after Jimmy Buffett passed away I went on a deep dive into his lesser known songs. I found this gem. It’s incredible. Highly recommend if you like some the sound of the harmonica.

Dixie Diner by Jimmy Buffett

ETA - The guy playing the harmonica, Greg “Fingers” Taylor recently passed away last month or so also.

This is another that isn't very old, seven years, but I had never heard them do it. Great harmony.

The Luke Combs cover of Fast Car, I’m no fan of bro country but I prefer his version over the original from Tracy Chapman.
