Random relevance?

I don't usually try to read too much into what pops up when I do these, but the first track this week seems a fitting kick off to the MLK holiday weekend. Nice sprinkling of more contemporary (by my standards, at least) stuff, too...

The Flying Burrito Brothers - Sin City
Emmylou Harris - Roses In The Snow
Carbon Leaf - Raise The Roof
Johnny Cash - Redemption Day
