MP3 & Playlist for Lost & Found, 05/01/06

An Honest Guy

Here I am, late as always, later than usual. Hey - there's a thick web of legal hoops I have to jump through to clear all these photos for publication...yeah, that's it...
Anyway, The Boss is back and I'm driving from the back seat again. Just keep your eyes on the road and I'll take the wheel, spinning a full complement of the hardest of funk, the sweetest of soul and the soul-searching sounds of some acoustic poets. All this hype too confusing? Preview the playlist further down to see if it's your bag - or if you've got the nerve, just click on Bobby Byrd's brutally honest reaction to the phenomenon of hot pants below, and take to the road. Trust in me, I can handle this baby at any speed.

Victims of Love

Sure, when those other shows are giving you what you want,
you never come around -
now you find yourself out in the cold and needing that blend of velvet soul & ringing guitars only I can provide.

Well, okay - I'm having a party tonight, just you and me.
We'll check out the boys in the garage, dance to some soul on my record player, and drift off as we roll in each other's arms to the late, great Buck Owens.

Just a click on the Pride of Bakersfield below
will be your invitation, and we'll meet down on the corner of love. One thing - don't let Mr. Brown know - he'll stop at nothing to get the dynamic information contained in that playlist just a little further down!

Playing With a Marked Deck

After almost a month off, I finally get to select some new sounds for you - and the choices seemed endless. Enjoy the opening bonanza of fuzzy rock, funky soul and some of the finest grooves to spring from the Everglades. George Raft dropped by the studio, but we couldn't get him to say much - maybe next time...
Click on the Little Beaver 45 below to listen, and drive even further south to get all the discographical details - and we'll see you in 2!
