Notes for this episode:

Actually #3 should've been matched up against #10, and #4 against #9. My bad. 

The "title track" to the album Horses was actually part of a larger overall song called "Land" (Part I: "Horses" / Part II: "Land of a Thousand Dances" / Part III: "La Mer(de)"). 

Lucinda Williams' poet father was named Miller Williams. 

Michael Bloomfield (not Bloomfeld) played on the first Janis solo album. Not sure how or why I pronounced his name so incorrectly as I am a big fan.  

James Honeyman-Scott and Pete Farndon from The Pretenders died due to drugs, I should've mentioned. 

Big Brother's guitarist was Sam Andrew (no "s" at the end).
