yeah, i tell myself that every Monday.
Here come my baby she’s so good — does everything just like she should — the Soft Boys are starting things off the right way with “Wey wey hep uh hole” from their Living Room sessions — this is a very nice, sparse arrangement. Ding dong! Kim’s guitar is beautiful as is his interplay with Robyn. Next track is Robyn’s too, the hoarse, slow moaning take of “Arms of Love” (which he says on “Spectre” was originally going to be “Arms of God”) on “Obliteration Pie”. The slow fade moves nicely into the Carter Family’s rhythmic strumming — they are playing “John Hardy was a Desperate Man,” one of my very favorites. Do you know the tune? A murder ballad about a condemned man in West Virginia, a sinner converting to Christianity on the gallows.
Mississipi John Hurt gently plucks out the opening chords of “Candy Man” — he can tell you who has the best candy, girl, remember to take your candy stick to bed. His candy don’t melt away, just gets better, so the ladies say. Strangely enough he has been playing his tune at a Robyn Hitchcock concert (Jan 2008, London) — now Robyn gives us a bit of banter before the next act: thanks everybody for coming here to Waterloo, and introduces Glen, who makes them play swing; and suddenly he is playing “Live Man Die” with the Egyptians (from “Bad Case of History”) — an almost excessively hot song. But DJ Rogers cools the mix right down with “Bail Out”, keeps it mellow and bassy. The applause that opens the next track almost sounds like it is for Rogers — it is for Bob Dylan and the Band at their “Before the Flood” concert and it introduces them singing “Don’t Think Twice, It’s Alright”, a marvelous, aggressive take on the song which is heating the mix right back up… (Especially the harmonica solo! Wow!) Doo-wop sextet Spank singing “So Much in Love” at the Trumansburg, NY Grass Roots Festival brings us to the perfect blend of blue cool and heat, and leads perfectly into our closing track, Robert Johnson’s “When You Got a Good Friend.”

Hi cleek, I posted on this thread last night but maybe the software did not like my mix?

Dammit, I had every intention of being all cool and doing it narrative style, until I forgot. How else can Obama fail us?
MikeJ… ditto
Modesto – very nice!
Again thanks! I am listening to a very pleasant random mix right now (including things like the Thoth Boys singing an extended “Clean Steve”, a version I didn’t know before — the beauty of all these RH alternate takes discs is that I never listen to them, so I get a lot of versions I don’t really know when shuffling — and The Lafayette Afro Band).
