The Peak, 01/07/08: It's 1971

Rob promises some little-heard gems today.  Glad I'm up early.  (Did I really say that?)

Indeed, we kick of with Joan Baez's hit take on "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down," which I've managed to never hear until now.  BOS for that alone.

Lot of great stuff in this set, but my next BOS goes to one that isn't great -- "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey."  Some of his most baffling lyrics.

truly great stuff: the Stones is one of my faves of theirs, the Cat Stevens is almost-never-heard, and the Procol Harum -- Oh MY!  Will try to remember to catch the replay.
