A Salty Dog Rat

As a former radio DJ, the temptation is great for me to feature even more music here than I do. The mood that Procol Harum’s “A Salty Dog” evokes is unsettling in a way that, for me, has never been matched.

I first knew Salty from this live recording. A high school friend played it for me the summer after we graduated, and its effect was both powerful and hypnotic. It felt like I was remembering a past life as a sailor on a doomed ship centuries ago. I immediately bought a copy of the album.
