The Crosstown Shuffle

I’ve been on a heavy Kinks run the past few days, and I realized I’d never really written about The Kink Kronikles and how ridiculous that compilation is. So I went ahead and did that. Feel free if you’re interested.

Good morning: I’m starting the work week with the deluxe reissue of the Stones’ Goats Head Soup and this thing floored me from the jump. It sounds incredible, and I’m not even up to the bonus tracks yet. Highly recommended, obviously.

This is Black History too.

The strength of Ike’s style does lie in his Blues Roots. Producing himself on this package of blues images, including some material of blues great Willie Dixon and other masters, Ike proves his ability as a writer and artist of the blues as well as his development as a singIe performer.

A minor hit in some countries worldwide, the song was included on the 1971 Bob Dylan’s Greatest Hits Vol. II, and other Dylan compilation albums. In 2011, five current and former Rolling Stones appeared on a recording of “Watching the River Flow” as part of a tribute project for pianist Ian Stewart. The song has been covered by the Earl Scruggs Revue, Steve Gibbons, Colin James, Russell, and many others.

the heartbreakers, 1975.
