The Past Is Never Dead by flying-glove.

“The past is never dead. It’s not even past.” -William Faulkner

Stuck In The South - Adia Victoria Going Down To The River- Doug Seegers Cross Road Blues - Robert Johnson Dead Flowers (live) - The Rolling Stones House Of The Rising Sun - The Animals John The Revelator - Son House Pretty Polly - The Byrds Kingdom Of Heaven - 13th Floor Elevators Wade In The Water - Ella Jenkins Ain’t No Grave - Johnny Cash Wild Horses - The Flying Burrito Brothers
