Hi.
It’s been a second since I have posted a new mix due to the fact that I’ve been traveling a little bit over the last two weeks. I made it Washington DC, Philadelphia, New York City, and New Jersey ladies and gentlemen. It was a whirlwind tour, but a refreshing one and now I am back to wow you.
This installment here features some legendary cuts that are vocally expressive without a doubt, beautiful, sad, and near perfect. Thematically this set goes a bit like this…Love/Heartbreak/Hate/Loneliness/Love /And Repeat……all my favorite themes. This mix was inspired by a 4 disc boxset I picked up awhile back now called, “In Crowd: Ultimate Collection 1958-67” that features, according to the liner notes, “the cream of soul”. This a here set is also highlighted by some incredible songs from Sam Cooke ( he can do no wrong), and a few other awesome songs I came across recently. The very last song, “this bitter earth” by Dinah Washington, I heard on the soundtrack to an incredible film I recently saw called, “Killer of Sheep”….Try and see it if you can find it.
Why don’t they make music like this any more?
