Gabor Szabo :: Some Velvet Morning (1968, Lee Hazlewood)
Culled from the 1968 Bacchanal LP, Gabor Szabo’s heady brew of jazz/psych/raga takes on Lee Hazlewood’s “Some Velvet Morning“. Both innovator and interpreter, Szabo’s instrumental interpretation stretches out rhythmically while retaining the […]
Janey & Dennis :: Take It From A Friend (1970)
Summertime music. Culled from our old Ponytone mixtape, the saccharine-sweet folk pop that is Janey & Dennis’ “Take It From A Friend”. MP3: Janey & Dennis :: Take It […]

Spiritualized :: Sad Days Lonely Nights (Junior Kimbrough)
