Comment:

Another peek at the tcontrolled chaos inside my head. Plenty of good stuff from 2006 with some new stuff and a little bit of this and a little bit of that from yesteryear. Two tracks off of The Holmes Brother's State of Grace album because it is the best album I have heard this year. The first three tracks have a gospel/soul groove going and it's great to hear how well the Rascals track from 1967 fits in with the much newer first two tracks. One of my joys of mixing is blending old and new together. Thank you Valis for hipping me to Rockfour. The final two tracks were put together to show the dilema of cover versions. I love The Smithereens, The Beatles and The Beatles song "It Won't Be Long" but this cover does nothing to enhance the song. On the other hand The Holmes Brothers' cover of the Elvis Costello song "(What's So Funny 'Bout Peace, Love and Understanding" takes a great song and pumps new life into the song. It gives me goose bumps and makes it my definitive version on the song. I challenge you to play the two versions back to back! R.I.P. Denny Doherty.
