Streets of Laredo

In an attempt to crank through mountains of work, I'm sitting at Starbucks listening to Johnny Cash. It's working!

I just listened to Streets of Laredo from his American IV album. The piano work in the last minute as the story talks about the funeral is absolutely stunning. It's very simple with a single note every few beats, but it's very powerful.

Cash does that. Simple songs performed powerfully.

And he cranks out the work.

So does Oasis, who reminds me to Be Here Now and Don't Go Away from my Wonderwall. But they are fair about it. If I'm going to leave, just Don't Look Back in Anger. Is that too much to ask? Some Might Say yes.
