So, I was talking with my wife the other night and mentioned that I was digging Jim's music. I tried to give her a feel for his music with 3 songs, but his material is pretty diverse. I chose Folsom Prison Blues, Table For One and Nang Nang. Given a similar situation, which 3 songs would you pick?

Jim, you can play too. ;^)

    Too far gone, pepper and Helen Keller? Tough choices

    Wouldn't know, actually. Your choices sound swell to me.

    I think I'd play Monkey in a movie first as it's been my ring tone since it came out. Not really able to listen to it in any other context anymore. :D Prettiest girl in NY, maybe, then Folsom Prison as that's something people already know.

    I am a very lucky man...

    I'll have to think about this, but I might be too close ha ha

    This is really tough, but I would probably pick "Blue Hen", the live bootleg version of "Chelsea Bridge" and "The Past is Looking Brighter and Brighter".

    I think it is impossible to narrow it down to just 3 but I guess I'd pick something like this set to try and show Jim's breadth

    "Prettiest Girl in New York"
    "Lipton Tea" or "Pepper"
    "Fingerpuppet" or "Monkey in a Movie"

    - "Cock and Bull Story" (or "Mrs. and Mr. Mouse")
    - "Nelly Bly"
    - "No Fun"

    I think the Cock and Bull Story does it. There seems to be about 3-4 songs, within that song. Everything from the pretty, melodic playing in the beginning, to some "free form jazz exploration" and punk rock towards the end. About the only thing this song seemed to be missing was a behind the nut bend, but you get one at the end...
