Hey! I've been a BT fan since Furr came out, but since finally seeing them live in late 2016 (when they came to LA) I've become a completist, with all their albums and now trying to complete my collection of non-album tracks.
What amazes me about their "rarities" is not only how many there are, but how they are nearly all top notch tunes -- songs most other bands would never dream of removing from an album. That's just how damn good this band is.
Anyhow, here's what I have (from my iTunes in chronological order):
Pink Padded Slippers
Crazy On You (Heart cover)
New Shoes (For the Kids 3)
Star Me Kitten (REM cover)
Ballad of Bird Love (Furr iTunes Bonus Track)
Farthest Shore (Furr sessions)
Rent-A-Cop (Furr sessions)
Wicked (from Choke soundtrack)
War Is Placebo (RSD single)
Booksmart Baby (RSD single)
The Last Thing On My Mind (Tom Paxton acoustic cover)
Simple Tree (Destroyer of the Void iTunes Bonus Track)
Ballad of the Burning Tongue (Destroyer Of The Void sessions)
Treasure (Yo Gabba Gabba)
Maybe Baby (RSD single)
Soul Singer (RSD single)
Mission Moon (American Goldwing iTunes Bonus Track)
All The Stones (American Goldwing sessions)
Hot Freaks (Guided By Voices cover)
Hey Joe (RSD single)
Skirts On Fire (RSD single)
Up On Cripple Creek (Deschutes River Recordings)
Coming Home (VII sessions)
Plenty of Thrills (VII sessions)
The Prophet (VII sessions)
Unbelievable (Bob Dylan cover)
Proud Mary (Ike & Tina Turner cover)
To Be Young (Is To Be Sad) (Ryan Adams cover)
Wicked Game (Chris Isaak cover live in studio)
Working on the Highway (Bruce Springsteen cover)
Flyin' Shoes (Townes Van Zandt cover)
I Am a Man of Constant Sorrow
Summer Rain (Amazon exclusive track)
Helplessly Hoping (CSN cover at Jam in the Van, Austin, TX)
Tracks I'm still looking for:
Heaven & Earth (demo) - from BT website, now unavailable
Brothers Three (Destroyer of the Void Japan Only Bonus Track)
The Last Thing on My Mind (Tom Paxton cover) – iTunes Live/Acoustic EP
Going Wrong – iTunes Live/Acoustic EP
Look My Way – PDX Pop Now! 2010 compilation
A Lover Loves – Wild Mountain Nation outtake
Pink Padded Slippers - digital download incl. with "Blitzen Trapper" RSD 2013 LP
Crackerjack Tattoo - digital download incl. with "Blitzen Trapper" RSD 2013 LP
Flying Trapeze - digital download incl. with "Blitzen Trapper" RSD 2013 LP
Rainy Day - digital download incl. with "Blitzen Trapper" RSD 2013 LP
On A Tuesday - digital download incl. with "Blitzen Trapper" RSD 2013 LP
Moving Minors Over Country Lines (demo) - digital download incl. with "Field Rexx" RSD 2016 LP
40 Stripes (demo) - digital download incl. with "Field Rexx" RSD 2016 LP
Lux & Royal Shopper (demo) - digital download incl. with "Field Rexx" RSD 2016 LP
I also missed the boat on getting the RSD album "Live Harvest" before collectors started charging $75+ for it. (!)
And I never have been able to find Eric's solo "Trapper" album, which I'd love to hear.
Anybody want to trade rarities? Or have any leads for me? Also, feel free to let me know if the lists are missing any rare tracks.
Yeah!
