The Astros have got me down, so here's the idea, set your IPod/MP3 player/computer to shuffle and post the first 5 or 10 songs that get played.

Right Around the Corner - Jimmy T-99 Nelson
This was recorded some time in the 1950s by the late Houston bluesman who passed away last year.

Babylon II - David Gray

I Asked for Water (Live) - Howlin' Wolf
A live cut from a 1966 performance by the blues legend.

Out on the Water Coast (Live)- Sonny Boy Williamson with The Yardbirds
The young British band joins the blues legend in London for a 1963 live show.

Love My Baby - Kim Wilson
The Fabulous Thunderbird frontman rocks on this track.

Uncorrected Personality Traits - Robyn Hitchcock
A weird song by a weird songwriter.

Hound Dog - Big Mama Thornton
Before Elvis, there was Big Mama.

Trouble Man (Live)- Marvin Gaye
A live cut from a 1980 performance at Montreaux

Marilyn and Joe - Kinky Friedman
When he's not being a silly candidate for governor, Kinky can write some good songs.

C'est La Vie (You Never Can Tell) - Chely Wright
A countryfied take on the Chuck Berry classic.
