For a little beginning of the week boost by way of commiseration, this week’s Stormy Monday is a workingman’s mix of music, kicking off with The Mother Hips’ Raining Gravel, a Steinbeck inflected outtake from the Pacific Dust sessions. Following that is the best union song ever written, King Harvest (Has Surely Come) by The Band, and Bruce Springsteen with How Can a Poor Man from a BBC performance with the Seeger Sessions Band.
The Grateful Dead offer an early-ish version of Cumberland Blues, and WSP gives a mostly acoustic read of Vic Chesnutt’s Expiration Day. We close things out with The Rolling Stones doing Salt of the Earth. Let’s drink to the hard working people, and as always, enjoy!
