I'd call "Cisco Kid" an LN, but YMMV. Chase those gringo bastards, yo.
DM only played it a couple of times; not sure how much it's turned up since then. Low Rider is a far more egregious offender, but it's in 75.
I'm also factoring in how often I hear it elsewhere, which is a LOT.
I think there's value in a distinction between LN, which is an overall assessment, and a FF within
the context of 10@10, and this set really demonstrates that. Surprisingly, the closest thing to
a FF today is
Hold Your Head Up. Just about everything else is firmly in the low-spin category,
yet the Hot Tuna, Garcia, and War tunes get a lot of play elsewhere. And once again, there are
plenty of so-called "deeper cuts" from all those artists that would have been good choices.
BOS to Stephen Stills, yet another underappreciated artist whose catalogue would make a
welcome addition to 10@10. It's sad to see a station with a history like KFOG's in a city that
was and is one of the major music centers on the planet using the Cliff Notes when it comes to
making programming choices. This was a good set from a very strong year, but with two or
three better selections it could have been great.
