Mix Tape - 12/12/06
Before I embark on any type of road trip , I always make a new "Mix Tape" (well, a mix CD). Each day this week I'll post a few tracks from my most recent mix which I made before traveling to Richmond, VA. I have a whole stack of Cd's like this so every once in awhile I'll throw them up on the site.

Soul Music Sunday - The Commodores
I suppose songs like these were the beginning of the end for The Commodores. Lionel wanted to write the slow ballads while the rest of the group wanted to bring the funk! As for me, I like 'em all.

It's Alive! - Johnny Cash / Willie Nelson
I pretty much despised country music throughout high school and into college. I occasionally heard stuff that was on the radio and I just didn't get it. That is till i saw the VH1 Storytellers special with Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash back in 1998. I sat through the whole show and was blown away. I guess this was my "gateway drug" into the world of country music. Honestly I still don't particularly care for any current "country" stars, but after watching this TV special I discovered some great music that I once ignored: The Carter Family, Hank Williams, Waylon Jennings, David Allan Coe, etc.....)

Totally 80's Friday! - Alphaville
Any band with two keyboard players is alright in my book. This song was most recently featured in Napoleon Dynamite.

Wild Card Wednesday - A Tribe Called Quest
If you've watched any sporting event in the last few months you've probably heard Q-Tip rapping in the Bud Select commercials. You know the one.."Don't Hold Back!" Anyways, I guess the marketing worked because it made me pull out my Old Tribe Cd's. Here's two tracks from one of the greatest rap groups from the 90's.

Two For Tuesday - Jimmy Cliff
Happy New Year! Let's kick off 2007 with two classic reggae cuts by Jimmy Cliff from The Harder They Come Soundtrack. I figured these tracks fit a "New Year's theme" because they are about starting fresh and overcoming current obstacles to attain a brighter future---at least that's what i get out of 'em. Enjoy!!!

Artist Of The Week - Willie Nelson
I Couldn't Believe It Was True
Just As I Am (Instrumental)
Can I Sleep In Your Arms
Alright, I saved the best for last. (Front to back this may be my favorite album.)This is a concept album which "focuses on the tribulations of a wandering preacher in the Old West as he comes to terms with the powers of love, hate, vengeance and, finally, redemption." I remember I was at a friends beach house a few years back and someone put on the Red Headed Stranger Album. A few of us were sitting in rocking chairs on a porch looking at the ocean in the early morning hours. It was the perfect soundtrack to the winding down of the nights festivities. If you're a fan of this album, I recommend checking out the Red Headed Stranger movie (A visual production of the music) While you're at it check out Honeysuckle Rose (my personal favorite Willie movie) Merry Christmas everybody!

Artist Of The Week - Willie Nelson
Rainbow Connection
Most of you may be more familiar with Kermit the Frog's version of this song from The Muppet Movie. Willie's version from his Rainbow Connection Album is also worth a listen.

Bloody Mary Morning
Pick Up The Tempo
Here's a few tracks from the Phases And Stages Album. This particular concept album deals with the breakup of a marriage. The first 5 songs chronicle the woman's viewpoint and the last 6 explore the male perspective. Pretty good stuff....
