Radio Clandestino playlist 11/21...Rez rock, jazz, funk, folk & pop

In what seems to have become an annual Unthanksgiving (No Thanks-Give-It-Back/Thanksgrieving) tradition, my pals Josh (of Mystery Train) and El Cassique joined me in-studio for our radio respect session in which we played indiginous pop, jazz, etc and similarly themed music. For our two other past playlists check here and here.

Jim Pepper..."Wichi Tai To"...Pepper's Pow-Wow...(Embryo)
Our hero has a very helpful site dedicated to his recordings here.



Vernon Wray..."Faces in the Crowd"...Wasted...(Sebastian Speaks)
Three Wray brothers on one LP.



Redbone..."We Were All Wounded At Wounded Knee"...45...(Epic)



XIT..."I Was Raised"...Plight of the Redman...(Rare Earth)
Possibly my favorite of the Rez rock LPs, with hard rock, funk, pow wow drums, and anti-America lyrics by Tom Bee.
