Rasta Army- Wingless Angels
(Legendary reggae artist Justin Hinds and some of the best nyabinghi musicians in Jamaica gathered together in Keith Richards living room in Ocho Rios and played beautiful, spiritual music together, with Keef on acoustic guitar and backing vocals. Gorgeous.)
Who Was That- Deee-Lite
("World Clique" has really held up. Hard to believe it's 35 years old.)
Twisted Track- Nucleus
(From the 1970 Vertigo release "Elastic Rock," here's a Chris Spedding tune that stood out from that great record.)
I Ain't Coming Back- The Orlons
(An amazing b-side and a Northern soul cult classic.)
How Many Times Have You Broken My Heart- Norah Jones
(First time I heard this was when Norah Jones performed it live on Elvis Costello's "Spectacle." It knocked me out hearing Jones, Rosanne Cash, Kris Kristofferson and EC harmonize on this unreleased Hank Williams tune. Studio version felt like a disappointment when it was released, but I'm over it. This is a killer track.)
Sit Down Servant- Staple Singers
(Bob Dylan's favorite.)
Blast Off- The Hi-Risers
(Thanks to our friend Jeff K, I got to hear The Hi-Risers for the first time. This is more fun than a barrel of Fruit Loops.)

I'm more of a Cap'n Crunch (w Crunch Berries) kind of guy, but that's a fun mix!
You're right about Rasta Army, beautiful song.
Being a devoted Chris Spedding fan for over forty years, I'm surprised I've never ran across Nucleus. It's not all for me, but there are some great songs on that record.
I loved the Hi-Risers as well, my favorite being One Note Joe.
Dy-no-mite SOTW!!

Very enjoyable mix! Always liked Groove Is in the Heart but never listened to all of World Clique until today and I liked it a lot. Never heard of Nucleus but love 70s jazz fusion and look forward to listening to more of them. Staples Singers are always so good. Happy Sunday!
Checked out The Hi - Risers per your recommendation - 3 piece, quite the rockers - great drummer - YouTube worthy
