Kate loves music. Sometimes songs get stuck in her head. She wants them to get stuck in yours too.

“Coffee” - WILDSANG
No particular blurb today, but if you are a coffee drinker (I’m not but I like the song anyway), you will probably get what this song is saying all too well. There are, of course, undertones of politics addressing racism and historical inequality, but we’ll leave that alone for now because I am tired and the song is fun.
I believe I originally collected this track in 2003 for a mix CD my mother had requested of “songs about coffee.” Why, yes, she is a caffeine addict.
“Snake Farm” - Ray Wylie Hubbard
Considered one of the elder statesmen of the Texas music scene, a key player in the outlaw country genre, and with a gritty, growling, weathered baritone to draw you in, Ray Wylie will charm you with this fun song. It simultaneously purrs out notes of sexiness and revulsion, and you may not be able to help but shudder along.
The inspiration for “Snake Farm”—and its fictional, tattooed, dancing Ramona—comes from the famous Animal World & Snake Farm of New Braunfels, Texas. Ray Wylie broadcasts his “Roots & Branches” radio show from New Braunfels, promoting new and established Americana musicians.
