Comment:

This is a compilation I put together on an 80 minute cd this weekend (it's classified as 'cassette' so that I could enter all the songs). I made this partly in search of inspiration for the band I'm playing in: 'Stretcher Case', a twangy guitar/sax-organ-bass-drums combo with a strong 60s influence (see www.stretchercase.com). It ends up being quite a fun mix I think, with some interesting versions of well known themes (e.g. Frances Faye's vocals with brass and bongos take on 'miserlou') thrown in with some originals. I also slipped in a few more modern tracks in a similar style. For more detailed explanations of some of these songs, visit musicaltaste.net
