Some tunes for your holiday weekend: The soundtrack to the 1975 film adaptation of The Day of the Locust. (I haven’t actually seen this. Have you?) Also recommended: losing several hours in archive.org’s fantastic, eclectic collection of 78rpm records. — BW
yes! you NEED to see this movie.
Now I’m thinking I’ve seen it, just a billion years ago.
Hot soundtrack, though! The Cleo Brown version of “Mama Don’t Want No Peas and Rice and Cocoanut Oil” inspired me to poke around for others. I found versions by Count Basie and Zora Neale Hurston.
