Can't Let Go- Lucinda Williams
Even the most ardent non-supporters of Miss Williams should dig this one.
I Wonder If She Remembers Me- The McCoys
A great a-side, "Say Those Magic Words," but I prefer this one, its b-side.
Tainted Love- Gloria Jones
I saw a picture of Marc Almond while scrolling through Instragram. I'm not sure why. Maybe a new record? Who knows? Doesn't matter. It made me think of this track.
Sincerely- Dave Edmunds
Can it really be over 30 years since Dave released a proper record? This is from that, "Closer To The Flame," an underrated gem, if you ask me.
Think A Little Sugar- Barbara Lewis
Picked up Barbara Lewis' "Baby I'm Yours" album at the Asbury Park Record Show a few weeks ago. Some solid stuff aside from the hits, including this baby which was the b-side of "Hello Stranger."
Night Train- Rickie Lee Jones
Finished Rickie Lee's memoir, "The Last Chance Texaco," a beautifully shocking (or was it shockingly beautiful?) 400 pages, that was as strange and unreal as her music. Highly recommended if you are a fan. I've been revisiting her records and this one jumped out.
Au Revoir- Steve Riley & The Mamou Playboys
A lovely way, I think, to go out.

Agree with you on the Dave Edmunds record, it's terrific. And it's been way too long since we heard from him.
Nice mix ... and almost every song (or your description) sent me scurrying to my library for related songs.
Well done Sal.
Tasty female contingent in this mix, especially the Barbara Lewis for me. Plus my favourite version of Tainted Love which then always makes me want to start singing Van the Man's G-L-O....(continued on page 37). Thanks for zipping. Cheers!
Seems like I heard that DE has retired???

CAN'T LET GO was written by the always excellent Randy Weeks! Once of The Lonesome Strangers, and who has 6-7 great solo records to his credit since that band broke up and stopped touring with Dwight Yoakum.
Dave Edmunds HAS retired and played his last live song with Brian Setzer!
