O.M.F.G.  Mike, AL must LURVE you.  And I do too right now: thanks for the mighty Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings!

BTW, if y'all make requests on her FB page... check the next morning to see if see clicked "like" on your comment; it's usually a clue that she's gonna play it or at least attempt to.

Oh yeah!  Though I thought it was Joe Cocker for a moment or two.

as far as our shraytabase is concerned, at least 4 bustouts there (Berry, Blasters, Neil's "America" and SJ&tDKs). I suspect that Dave may have played Chuck B back in the "Fifties Friday" era, tho'.

Looks to be another excellent set in AL's lengthy (but not quite consecutive) string of them.  Shocked that none of you guys know American Music--their album of the same name is probably my favorite of theirs. It was long out of print but reissued about 8 or 9 years ago.

And props to the various denizens of this space for calling out so many of the songs that made it into today's set (and bonus track). I'm sure she could come up with a great set on her own, but it's cool that she's taking suggestions, and by the number that come from the contributors here, I think she digs that we're as into it as we are.
Let's get right to it.
