.music: Nine o' clock blues (Winchesters, Castiel, Ruby; Impala, Roadhouse)
Back when I posted The Apocalypse for Beginners, I mentioned to ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
verstehen that it would be neat to compile a blues mix for SPN. So, after a lot of thinking and sifting, I compiled one! "Nine O'Clock Blues" is mostly blues, but a bit of blues-inspired rock and country, because the blues is really one of those things that doesn't belong in any one place. (Also, I did not have quite enough for two mixes, so I just threw all the awesome in together.) The soundtrack splits its time across all the seasons; tracks 1-11 head from S1 (starting with the events in Sam's nursery) through S3, while tracks 12-23 focus on S4. Track 24 is meant as a looking-back, from some point beyond the Apocalypse. I don't want to say too much more, but I like to think the songs work together to hint at the story we've been told so far.
Track Listing
01. Didn't Leave Nobody but the Baby | emmylou harris, alison krauss and gillian welch
You and me and the devil makes three.
02. Born under a Bad Sign | albert king
Hard luck and trouble is my only friend
I've been on my own ever since I was ten.
03. Don't Bother None | mae yamane
Sorry old man, that's just the way that it is
Don't bother none.
04. Malted Milk | eric clapton
My doorknob keeps on turning,
there must be spooks around my bed.
05. Roadhouse Blues | the doors
The future's uncertain
and the end is always near.
06. Red House | jimi hendrix

go back 'cross yonder over the hill.

She got a mortgage on my body, Lord,
a lien on my soul.

Yes, I had my fun, people, mother, this is all in prayers
Yes, if you don’t see this old body, mother

11. Me and the Devil Blues | eric clapton
You may bury my body down by the highway side,

But those people keep a-movin',
And that's what tortures me.

People, if I ever can get up
Off this old hard killing floor,

This low no more.
14. Tired Man | albert collins
I'm a tired man
you know I ain't got time to play.

16. Kind Hearted Woman | eric clapton
I've got a kind-hearted woman
studies evil all the time.
17. Turtle Blues | janis joplin
I just treats 'em how I wants to
Honey, I never treat them, baby, like I should.

Just give me one thing that I can hold onto
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go.

Well when I'm in trouble said search my heart,
so I'll know what's right and what's wrong.
21. Big Boss Man | jimmy reed
Big boss man, can't you hear me when I call?
Well you ain't so big, you just tall, that's all.
22. Sun Going Down | the tea party
I think my wings are falling below, Jesus, I need another pair
Jesus, won't you meet me in the middle of the air?
23. If I Had Possession over Judgement Day | paul williams and friends
Had to fold my arms and I
slowly walked away.
24. Brown-Eyed Woman | grateful dead
Brown-eyed women and red grenadine,
The bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean.
Sound of the thunder with the rain fallin' down,
And it looks like the old man is gettin' on.

Is there any other place I can post this? Like, an SPN audio or mix comm? That would be awesome.
In other news: Okay, I am really going to finish my other stuff tonight. The cover art for this is the first art I've done in weeks and oh god please please let it keep working for me.
