Comment:

The theme's easy enough to follow, old songs, new songs, borrowed tunes & blue tunes from my collection. The 'Blue' angle is open to my interpretation (it is my mix after all) so I'm going with tunes that have a blue/downer feel to em. This could run into a series cos I've culled stacks of great tunes before coming up with the final 20 songs. Credit due to: Sean Lally for track #5 & Gobi fortrack #11. Oh yeh & the opener is from the excellent mix 'Juke Joint Sniper' but apologies are owed cos I've no idea who's that mix is?

This looks tremendous, Frenchy. I really love the Essex Green, Them, Raconteurs, Flamin' Groovies and Bonnie Billy tracks, in particular.

Your on top of your mix make on this one Cliff. I'm in favor of seeing this series continue. I'm digging the Raconteurs.

Great theme and a fantastic mix, Cliff! Especially liking the Wilson Pickett -> Roddy Frame, as well as the Mojave 3 and Grandaddy. Like hemizen, I'd love to see a series continuing from this. Overall, a really nice start to the weekend!

This looks awesome, Cliff. I seriously love that Pink Mountaintops closer. (here's a helpful tip:be careful singing along with that one on the headphone). I've got a feeling I may have missed a correspondance or two from you, good sir. Just coming out of hibernation.

Congratulations! I didn't even know you were engaged. Great new Essex Green pick and I've been hearing good things about the Organ. Mind if I borrow this?

He he Dom, thought someone would pass comment on Quo. Actually, it's a great version (musically at least, tho think it's Parfitt singing & that admittedly isn't a patch on Morrison)Worry not mon ami!

Lovely, super, smashing. I admire the way this mix never actually cuts to the chase. You gotta keep 'em wanting more...
