RIP Maurice White. Title track of the first LP I ever bought. Still an amazing record.

Thundercat -Them Changes
I found out yesterday that Stephen "Thundercat" Bruner often plays bass with Kamasi Washington, which is pretty awesome. I've only got one of his albums, but I really like it.
That bass is pretty sweet.
Otis Clay – Trying To Live My Life Without You
This is actually another sad passing to note. Otis Clay was a heavy on the Chicago scene and will be missed.
1972
Sound familiar? That because Don Henley, the recently deceased Glenn Frey, and the Eagles fairly brazenly ripped it off for "The Long Run".
Lizzo – My Skin
Okay, that was fun but STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND PLAY THIS.
2015
Lizzo's new album just came out. I'm thinking I'll be picking it up.
Fantastic Negrito – It’s A Long Long Road
So this is just weird enough to get my attention on youtube.
Rufus Thomas – Breakdown/Funky Chicken
Ain't I'm clean!?
1973
The Temptations – I Wish It Would Rain
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYrBvMl7OWw
Someone said something about painting and rainy days, and, well, these fly dudes have something to say about it. I totes balls you too, bootsy.
Lauren Hill Doo Wop (That Thing)
A little throwback for this Friday morning.
Leon Bridges – Coming Home
Yeah, the world needs this kind of music. His new album is on first listen, and it's worth your time.
Ray Charles – Hit The Road Jack
I suggest you take Ray's advice and hit the road. We're nearly done with this trip, and it's been a great success.
