While my perception of "winter" has wholly changed since moving to California 11 years ago, Bunyan's haunting 1966 rendering of "Winter Is Blue" continues to inhabit the season existentially. Culled from an unreleased acetate, later tacked on the reissue of Just Another Diamond Day, the track cuts right through sunny and 75 L.A. in January. Call it achingly beautiful aural sleet and snow.
