From a post I made elsewhere about “The Cuckoo Bird,” which Peter Rowan sang with Boris Garcia on KPFA last week:
…the set list for the Boris Garcia show is posted here along with a couple of nice photos and a link to the KPFA audio archive (for those who haven’t heard it yet).
The canonical “Cuckoo Bird” is by Dock Boggs. Greil Marcus‘ wonderful book The Old, Weird America, while ostensibly about the Basement Tapes, was (Greil told me) really just an excuse to write about Boggs.
There’s an amazing Dock Boggs collection on Revenant Records, if you can find it.
