KRLX mix #11 (4/20/2018)

A 2017 trek to Topanga Canyon, former stomping grounds of the LA country rock elite, might have inspired your DJ to sonically recreate that experience (given how much he typically eats that stuff up). Yet while Neil Young, The Byrds, and The Flying Burrito Brothers are hardly absent here, this playlist features songs of a more cinematic stamp. Fix Monument Valley in your mind’s eye, tune your ears to world-weary, and get ready to consort with loners, strangers, pistol packers, and a man who wouldn’t be six feet under if only he could have admitted he’d been in the arms of his best friend’s wife.
