....Relaxing at home yesterday, playing four Al Green albums back to back, was the most happiness-inducing thing I've done in weeks....

...What's really floated your musical boat in this stifling heat? Doesn't have to be rare, just good!

I played the Chuck Strong "Stolen Love" album yesterday, first time in a while and it sounded sooooo good.

Followed that with two other long unplayed albums: Jeff Floyd - "Changing Times" and Kevin Owens - "That Time Again".

Perfect mellow summer soul. ohmy.gif

The Commodores "High on sunshine" always does it for me. Their early stuff is very underrated.

If you want something to really chill you out on a warm summer evening then how about a bit of Billie Holiday!

I bought a cheapy CD titled "Immortal Lady Day - Vol 1", if you like the lady you will love this, a nice glass of what ever takes your fancy and just listen, fantastic.

Tell you what else I listened to today... Platters, I Get The Sweetest Feeling... yet again those twanging guitar rifts prevailed and I was exported to some other place.

Absolutely superb rendition, and dare I say, better key usuage than that of dear Jackie!

And for those that haven't heard it: Platters
