6 Jan 2014: it's... 1971

[dischead]

Yeah, I recently heard me some NRPS on Sirius/XM Deep Tracks from the first album, and it sounded really sweet.  It's a well-recorded album, with some of Garcia's best pedal steel work.

I also think Panama Red is not as good as the stuff off the first album, or most of the second album either.

I thought for certain that Panama Red was the kind of song that would catch Fogheads' fancy
and predicted it would take BOS when I requested it.  But when it aired, it sounded kind of "flat,"
although I still enjoy the lyrical wordplay.  More puzzling than their general omission from 10@10
is that I've never heard them during regular programming, even when the playlist skewed
more toward older material.

I'm sure Fogheads would dig "Henry" if played right after the Friday 5:00 PM traditional song.
