Last resort

Meaty debut from Tartan Tarantino

"Hotel Last Resort" is the title track of the band's upcoming album, due July 26

One of those mornings walking to work when, in spite of 18,000 or whatever songs on my iPod, I couldn’t figure out what to play. It’s at that point I realised Joni Mitchell’s “Hejira” had become my last resort record; not my favourite, exactly (although I could make a stern case for it, for sure), but the one I can always rely on, whatever my mood or the circumstances.

It's from the Los Angles Forum in 1976
