Aquarium Drunkard Presents: September Jukebox 2
As I type this, 2,700 miles from my home in Los Angeles, the talking head on the television is reporting that the Autumnal equinox brings the fall season to the Northern Hemisphere tonight, September 22nd. And while I can assure you that summer heat rages on back in Los Angeles, and will continue for another few weeks (at least), for this week's playlist I'll play along.
Kicking off with Henri Texier's "Les Labas" we immediately dive into Rahsaan Roland Kirk's "Black Root" before heading to Zambia with Amanaz's "Khala My Friend." Up next is Wendell Stuart and the Downbeaters incredibly soulful take on the Beatles' "Hey Jude," Naomi & The Boy's rendition of the Stones' "As Tears Go By," and the Electric Piano Underground do their best riff on the Beach Boys' "Good Vibrations."
Press play to hear the rest and slide on into Autumn...
