Full track list below...
setlist:
The Pentangle - Springtime Promises- from the 1969 Basket of Light LP on Reprise, terrific folky jazz.
The Free Design - Summertime - Interesting version of the Gershwin classic from "Porgy and Bess" -- this one comes from their album on Project 3, "Heaven/Earth".
Wardell Gray - April Skies - on a great original Prestige label LP "Memorial Volume II"
-- talk --
the Pyramids - Penetration - from a 1964 45 on the BEST label, the last top 20 instrumental surf hit.
the Velvet Underground - Who Loves the Sun - from their final (real) album Loaded, this one's a German issue from the early 70's on MIDI.
Lyn Collins - Ain't No Sunshine -- moody version of the Bill Withers' classic on the b-side of her classic 70's funk single on People (A-Side is THINK) -- produced by James Brown.
Chambers Brothers - Summertime - from a live album on Vault (1966).
Bobby Womack - Daylight - his great funky disco classic from the Safety Zone album!
Neil Young - Saddle Up The Palomino - backing vocals by Emmylou Harris & Linda Ronstadt... they THOUGHT it was a demo until the LP came out... (American Stars'n'Bars 1977)
Alice Cooper - Sun Arise - from his classic Love It To Death LP ('71) which is perhaps better remembered for "I'm Eighteen"
-- talk --
Sam Cooke - Summertime (MONO) - another great version from the soul master, from "The Best of Sam Cooke" (1962 on RCA). Not the version on the back of the You Send Me single...
**super secret 'bonus' track**
I could say that I put 15 seconds of quiet before this track to give Sam Cooke some respect.
Or I could say that it was a "bonus track" like lame bands used to do on their CDs in the 90's.
Or I could admit that I forgot to play this song and it's awesome...
Beachwood Sparks - The Sun Surrounds Me -- from the late 90's... mp3!
