Roots and Rhythms

MULE BOOGIE - Cross a horse with a donkey for a roots bonanza: string bands, jug bands, bluegrass, jazz, country, Cajun, boogie woogie, hillbilly boogie, rockabilly, rhythm & blues & rock & roll. Great songs about mules for you retro fools
You can skin 'em, pack 'em, ride 'em, plow with 'em, but best of all, are the songs about them. Mules, that is. Cross a mare with a jack and end up with a barren of tunes. 11 genres in 60 minutes. All ages show! (i.e. songs from 1923 to 2001). Mostly chronological.
