"Suddenly November Morning" is a recently unearthed Jimi Hendrix demo that segues into the lyrics for another posthumously-released track called "Drifting", both of which bookend this week's mix, which also includes Chris Whitley's cover of "Drifting". Also featured are three versions of the old country standard "There's More Pretty Girls Than One" by Rutherford & Foster, The Green River Boys featuring Glen Campbell and Doc Watson performing live. Gil Scott-Heron's "Home Is Where The Hatred Is" also appears three times, in its original album form as well as a later solo piano version to accompany Esther Phillips' cover. One more song repeats this week: Low's "Monkey", also here as a cover by Robert Plant.
The rest: the spacey "Elevators (Me & You)" by Outkast, the swinging "Conversation While Dancing" by Jo Stafford & Johnny Mercer, a cover of Leon Haywood's "it's Got To Be Mellow" by El Klan '69, Little Brother's witty nostalgia trip "Good Clothes", the blues standard "Somestack Lighnin'" by Howlin' Wolf, Kelis' moody "Goodbyes", the bouncy "Rock On" by Casual featuring Pep Love, the retro soul of Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings with "100 Days, 100 Nights", the regretful "Time Has Proven I Was Wrong" by Hank Williams and Curley Williams, the dramatic "Dark Lady" by Cher and the wrenching "I Want To Make Up" by The 24-Carat Black.
