Bill Withers - Use Me

Even though this musical genius hasn't recorded anything officially in over twenty years, you have heard his music many, many times, regardless of your age. Probably best known for "Lean On Me" and "Ain't No Sunshine", but Bill Withers has so many other strings in his bow. Quentin Tarantino used "Who Is He" in the Jackie Brown soundtrack, and no doubt his 1972 album "Still Bill" influenced the title of another well known movie. An homage to a great, great artist who started his working days first as an enlisted man in the navy and then as a general assembler before finally conceding to being a full time musician. This track is from that '72 album and reached #2 in the Billboard Charts. This particular live cut is a perfect example of soulful awesome.


James Gadson on drums. Brilliant.

Tom Fun Orchestra - Throw Me To The Rats

Who ever said everything on here has to be electronic? Hmm... nobody I guess... ok so let's try this...

FUN! Tom Fun. Tom Fun Orchestra! These guys are from lovely Cape Breton and they always put on a great show. I happened to find a couple vids online and here is one of them. They're a little nutty and I dig 'em. Think more upbeat folky Tom Waits.


Rats.
