I’ve always wanted to beat up my dad, but now he is old and nice.

Dads make me think of southern rock, I guess. I tried to capture the gamut of emotions without getting too scattershot. I trimmed a lot of songs and I think I would up with this sort of eclectic grouping in part because they all sound kinda wizened.

01. Muddy Waters - “Why Are People Like That” (Woodstock Album)
02. Kris Kristofferson - “The Pilgrim - Chapter 33” (The Silver Tongued Devil and I)
03. Gordon Lightfoot - “Is There Anyone Home” (Sundown)
04. Murder by Death - “Piece by Piece” (Good Morning, Magpie)
05. Jackson Browne - “You Love The Thunder” (Running on Empty)
06. Otis Redding - “I’m A Changed Man” (Love Man)
07. Drive-by Truckers - “Outfit” (Decoration Day)
08. Creedence Clearwater Revival - “Long As I Can See The Light” (Cosmo’s Factory)
09. Levon Helm - “Wide River to Cross” (Dirt Farmer)
10. William Elliot Whitmore - “There’s Hope For You” (Animals in the Dark)
