Road Foggy- Burning Spear

Big Bad Dreams- Bee Gees
(I binged on some Bee Gees last week or so, hitting records I don't usually play. "To Whom It May Concern" was a pleasant surprise. This is from that.)
Big Bad World- Cathy Saint
(Miss Saint was one and done with this fine Wall of Sound single.)
Boys- The Shirelles
("Bop shoo wop, a bop bop shoo wop!"
The Tiger Pounced- Binky Philips & The Planets
(With a riff that won't quit, and a relentless back beat, get rocking with NYC legends The Planets!)
Don't Cave- Ben Kweller
(I haven't listened to much Ben Kweller, but a review of his most recent intrigued me, even if the subject matter seemed too heavy for pop music. "Cover In Mirrors" finds Ben dealing with the fluke death of his teenage son. It's both heartbreaking and musical and highly recommended. Here's a standout.)
Road Foggy- Burning Spear
("The road is so foggy so foggy, foggy/Guidance be with I and IGoing out and coming in/From all evil thing evil doers"
Damn straight, Mr. Spear.)
This Bitter Earth- Irma Thomas & Ellis Marsalis
(A stunner from Miss Thomas and the late, great Mr. Marsalis.)
Lower case good for 30 days.
Upper case is the old way for those who have luck on their side.

Really liked the Supremes "Stormy" cover, BTW.
Finest kind, Sal. Appreciate your reliability in such a fucked up world.
Looking forward to hearing it! Thanks for the Bee Gees inclusion.
I wasn't wild about it, meself, but dang I LOVED that drum sound!
