"...and the next thing you knew, we were back on the kitchen floor, sitting down, trading songs, and we went on for hours doing that..." -- Butch Hannock of the Flatlanders

 Listen to the show below! 

Artist	Track	Album	Label	Year	Notes
The Flatlanders	Tonight I Think I'm Gonna Go Downtown	All American Music	Plantation	1973	A reflective and exploratory take on country music from a short-lived progressive country group.
Black Merda	Reality	Black Merda	Chess	1970	A forgotten psychedelic soul and blues rock band from Detroit. Socially conscious lyrics, uniquely pessimistic among other socially conscious records of the time.
Johnny Price	Marijuana, The Devil Flower	N/A	Rexell	1971	Funny country single. Singer has disdain and disgust for the hippie counterculture movement.
Earth & Stone	Don't Let Them Fool You	Kool Roots	Cha Cha Music	1979	Late-stage roots reggae track from a relatively unknown duo. Last gasp for OG run of politically and socially conscious reggae before dancehall took over.
Djalma Corrêa	Banjilógrafo	Baiafro	Phillips	1978	An Afro-Brazilian percussion piece tied to capoeira and samba de roda.
David Hykes & The Harmonic Choir	Arc Descents	Hearing Solar Winds	Ocora	1983	A new age track centered on overtone singing. Ominous drone that strays from usual new age peacefulness.
Steve Tibbetts	The Secret	Steve Tibbetts	Frammis	1977	An early example of Tibbetts' unique postmodern neo-primitivism. Drifting, hypnotic acoustic guitar work.
Bobb Trimble	Glass Menagerie Fantasies	Iron Curtain Innocence	Vengeance	1980	An out-of-time psychedelic folk track from the post-60s folk scene. Surrealistic and introspective.
Leroy Jenkins	Albert Ayler (His Life Was Too Short)	The Legend of Ai Glatson	Black Saint	1978	A tribute to free jazz legend Albert Ayler featuring Jenkins' avant-garde violin work. A particularly ethereal track, which may be suprising considering how abrasive violin can be in a free jazz context.
Max Roach Trio feat. Hasaan Ibn Ali	Three-Four vs. Six-Eight Four-Four Ways	The Max Roach Trio Featuring the Legendary Hasaan	Atlantic	1964	A showcase of the great Max Roach's drumming and Ali's virtuosic piano style. A rare example of bebop to avant-garde jazz transistion as it was occurring.
Juggaknots	Loosifa	The Juggaknots	Fondle 'Em	1996	Dreamy, lo-fi underground hip-hop track with a lush wall-of-sound aesthetic. Somewhat foreshadowing the surrealist beats of cLOUDDEAD. Same label that put out MF DOOM's debut record by the way.
