Here's another hour of 45's. A lot of favorites in here, a couple tracks that are new to me and of course there seems to always be a red heron, in this case the jewel akens track, doesn't totally jive with the rest of the batch but doesn't stink up the joint. a good track but maybe would fit in better in another mix, kind of like spaghetti sauce on cereal. The Lou Rawls track won't leave my head for a hundred reasons, his voice is so rich without being otis intense or marvin mellow, falls into a beautiful little listening cove where i just wade and take it in, hope it has the same effect on you. Enjoy the mix. Got a bunch more in the tubes, super heavy funk 45s, instrumental (mostly organ, some jazz) 45s, a 'world' music edition and a two volume early 90's hip hop session with my spinning partner Dj Cashman. Alright, enjoy!
