RetroJoe's Mix of Rockin' Jim's Picks
Comment:
Some tunes inspired by my frie_nd Jim's input over the course of the last few weeks. One of the topics that was discussed in some detail was his days listening to underground radio in the late '60s and early '70s in the local San Francisco Bay Area. Some of the choices made for the song sel_ections weren't necessarily directly made by Jim. The first three choices (plus track 18) were mine off of albums that he recommen_ded (only the mono mix would do for the Beatles). Track 5 was chosen by me off of a Rockabilly CD mix made by Jim's brother for Jim (they are both big rockabilly fans). Tracks 9, 10 & 13 were sel_ections I made off of 3 CDs that Jim lent me from his extensive collection. The range of years of these songs is 1949-1971 (but mostly the mid '50s to the late '60s). After the early '70s, Jim directed most of his attention to collecting and listening to R&B, especially doo-wop. I've concentrated on that last angle in my 8 CD series of Grooveyard Gems. This mix is less specialized since it represents Jim's taste in music before his near total conversion. The last 23 seconds was trimmed off of track 14 to make room for the harpsichord playing at the e_nd of the last track (the mix is 79m56s long).Feedback:
I love all of it, but especially pleased at Dave Mason.
Leave it to you to mix up those other mixes to make something new! We all benefit from you and your pal Jim.
A very nice selec-tion of music in the time-space continuum! One inclusion does makes me laugh - the Steve Alaimo (did anyone ever take his music seriously?).
