A standout TFF cut to open, Oletta Adams piano and the slide guitar sound like Little Feat...thanks for your comments, Smithereens can bring it!

Thanks again. Aretha was first and foremost a jazz singer and recorded 4 lp's from 61-65 for Columbia under Johnny Hammond.

I love mixes that incorporate a mixed bag of genres and work. The trick is in the execution and knowing what sources will sound pleasing and when to pause for effect.

Thanks for writing...
