This mix from a few years ago is bookended with two versions of Van Morrison's "The Way Young Lovers Do": a rare acoustic demo by Van and a live cover by Jeff Buckley.
There are several different songs on here about letting the "good times roll". Yo La Tengo cover the old Shirley & Lee hit, there's the single "Good Times Roll" from the debut album of The Cars, Jimi Hendrix's Earl King-written "Come On (Let The Good Times Roll)", and Ray Charles doing an entirely different song called "Let The Good Times Roll" in a studio setting with dialogue.
Other stuff: the airy "pink Frost" by The Chills, Chicago's joyful "Saturday In The Park", Mary Wells doing a charming live versions of her hit "Two Lovers" at The Apollo, a live version of their then-new single "Miss You" by The Rolling Stones, Ruth Copeland's ferocious cover the The Rolling Stones' "Gimme Shelter", Prince's aptly-titled "Housequake", Big Daddy Kane's collaboration with Biz Markie called "Just Rhymin' With Biz", the rare demo "Lord of Lyrics" by Run-D.M.C., a blistering live version of "Shelter From The Storm" by Bob Dylan, Blin Willie Johnson's gritty "Let Your Light Shine On Me", and the soulful "Shine A Light" by The Rolling Stones.
