Comment:

Another one of those "gotta clear off the hard-drive" mixes. The new find for me was the Robert Randolph & the Family. That is sooooome fast and funky shit. Whew! The Love version of "My Little Red Book" is on my list of world's finest covers ... I mean, lust, anger, ambivalence, supplication, despair, and pride in one short song? The human condition when it comes to love and relationships, no? The "Mercy" songs are swell, of course. Thanks to Fred Graver for the Dixie Chicks cover of "Landslide" which really works for me. The Etta James cover of "Almost Persuaded" is a cornerstone of country/soul, believe me. Vaya con Dios, amigos!
