I had so much fun playing it back to back with the Blue Mountain record that I might reprise the combination on my freeform show.That isn't the original recording of "Big City," by the way -- it's the performance on Haggard's recent Bluegrass Sessions CD. And no, Michelle Shocked's folk cover of "Lovely Rita" isn't really bluegrass, but it seemed to fit, coming as it did right after another Beatles remake. posted by Jesse 11:06 PM . . .
