VA – Summer Time Blues

Summer Time Blues

Having just returned from a beautiful 8-day Hawaiian (75º & sunny each day) getaway with my fiancée, coming back to 9º, snow drifts and a snotty cold has got me yearning for Summer (or at least Spring). It was with that in mind, that I compiled this mixtape last night.

I think this may be one of my favorites, in terms of quality front-to-back, and it came together in about 1/10th of the time it usually takes me.

Tracklisting:

1. Bumrocks “Piedra”
2. The Who “Summertime Blues (Live at Leeds)”
3. Merry Clayton “Gimme Shelter”
4. Abel “I Gotta Woman”
5. Radiator “Lay Back and Dream”
6. Poco “I Can See Everything”
7. Jerry Garcia “Mississippi Moon”
8. Queen “Doing All Right”
9. Stevie Nicks “Gypsy (Fender Rhodes Demo)”
10. Lucio Battisti “Keep On Cruising”

    Bonus points if that’s actually a photo from inside your house.

    I should be so lucky.

    hmm…i just realized that it was probably the original laura branigan version of ‘self-control’ that i was recalling, not this particular D.J.K. rendition. i was probably seven or eight years old when branigan’s song was playing on the radio.

    anyway, even though it’s not the one that was stored away in my memory, i like the D.J.K. version!
