Comment:

A Valentines mix for Lisa. 1.The Good Lovin is from the rehearsal sessions that Lowell George did producing the Dead; 2. I always loved Fess' piano; 3. and early Joe Cocker; 4. Robert Randolph is an amazing pedal sacred steel player - great live; 5. Soloman Burke was/is one of the greats of R&B - the Blues Brothers had a minor hit with this; 6. from the new & last Ray Charles album - one of our favorites (only Moondance tops it); 7. from the long lost Howard Tate, another, but now relatively unknown, great R&B voice; 8 & 9. had to get a little jazz in here - an instrumental & a vocal; 10. Chick Corea's first Return to Forever band, less electric than later, with Flora Purim's great scatting & Airto's wonderful percussion (we once gave Flora a bunch of roses during a snowstorm in Chicago); 11. well maybe one ironic song, but fun; 12. I assume this one was for June; 13. something I wonder about all the time; 14. early 1963 or so solo acoustic; 15. a hopping Caribbean tune (To ask your hand); 16 & 17. Lisa loves Motown; 18. and Aretha; 19. almost reverential rather than doo wop; 20. pick up the pace with a (later) classic that hasn't yet been ruined for me by commercials; 21. I really wonder what some people could have done if they had lived a little longer; 22. from an EP cd of covers that was given away last year - Paul Weller is big in the UK but not so much here in the U.S., formerly the head Jam man.

The Solomon Burke, Hartman & Coltrane, Professor Longhair, Buddy Holly, Flamingos and Cash songs are fantastic, and that particular Police song is a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine.

Great, 'specially the buddy holly number, but I still like Sam Cooke's better than Aretha's
