Beautufull “Thanksgiving Moon”…
This other one, instead, might to be used only in case of emergency: http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/12/31/1671555/Ry%20Cooder%20-%20Crossroad%20sound%20track%20-%20Feelin%20bad%20blues.wma
Angry viking: “st james infirmary” is also one of my favorite songs, unfortunately I don’t think I’ve heard anything matching it. I’d suggest perhaps “life in a glasshouse” by Radiohead if you haven’t heard it yet (the extended version on the b-sides is better) it is very influenced by dixieland funeral jazz.
Also this compilation of funeral jazz music might help you: http://www.discogs.com/release/489425
Jungle: Ry Cooder! wicked! wouldn’t sound out of place at all :) Paris, texas is one of my favorite soundtracks of all time.
Awesome tunes!
Thanksgiving Moon is very special…
and who can forget Louis?
