"Electronic music and popular culture evolved simultaneously and that’s something that has always fascinated me - how technology enabled musicians and how the musicians helped to drive that technology forward," Martin Kelly tells UCR.
(The pair also authored 2010's Fender: The Golden Age 1946-1970.) The evolution of the instrument, from initial design blueprints to its place on the international rock 'n' roll stage, is chronicled inside the book. Trungpa was known for his drinking and womanizing, but he was also a great teacher who brought his much needed “crazy wisdom” to the West.The Rickenbacker had a fascinating history before the Beatles, as chronicled in the recently released book Rickenbacker Guitars: Out of the Frying Pan Into the Fireglo by Martin and Paul Kelly. Heart and Humor and Humility, he said will lighten up your heavy load, I left him then for the Refuge of the Roads.” The lyrics are perfect and the music is too, with Joni and Jaco in the studio. “I met a man of spirit, He drank and womanized, I sat before his sanity, I was holding back from crying He saw my complications and he mirrored me back simplified, And we laughed how our perfection would always be denied. Another song to mention from “Hejira” is “Refuge of the Roads” about her stop in Boulder to see Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche, the greatTibetan Buddhist teacher and head of a lineage whose spiritual teachings he brought to America in the late 60s/early 70s. So, who knows when she wrote Coyote, but it is a great song.

Lyrically, the song is full of dusty, forlorn images like the settings of Shepard’s plays.
The studio version, above, is still driven by her acoustic guitar but incorporates percussion and Mitchell’s serpentine vocal line entwines with Jaco Pastorius’s bass. They’ll also recognize it as the first song on Mitchell’s 1976 album Hejira.
