Woke Up Forty Years Ago Today

Quite a day. Lots and lots and lots of tasty music that took me back to a place I’d never thought about. These folks all seem serious – they are not simply re-creating a sound, they are adding to our collective consciousness. The songs sound like they would fit into the 60’s perfectly, without any ear-jarring bloopers; yet manage to not sound exactly like any other song from the 60’s. Oh sure, the influences are obvious, but not direct copies of the influences. Lots of fun, and makes for a great faux-60’s party. Let’s have at it!


Jamie Lidell - Another Day b/w Little Bit Of Feel Good & Where D'You Go







The Draytones - Turn It Down b/w Heart Shaped Line & I Have To Go







James Hunter - She's Got A Way b/w The Hard Way & Believe Me Baby







Incognito - Love, Joy, Understanding b/w Feel The Pressure & Never Look Back +When Words Are Just Words b/w Freedom To Love & Step Aside






Joey Negro & Sunburst Band – Monterey b/w Moving WIth The Shakers







Bluetones - Slight Return b/w Tiger Lily







Jim Bianco - I Got A Thing For You b/w Sing & Never Again +Painkiller & To Hell With The Devil





And special mention for a song that sounds 2008 with reverence, but fits right into the Spirit of the 1960’s music. I’ll end this great party with this special rendition of the great Sam Cooke dream.



Jesse Malin – Wonderful World
