This marks the 596th mix, the first one without the monkey or the fox, who died a week ago today. As did my heart. This is dedicated to him. I hope he is enjoying it with the monkey somewhere.
Two songs repeat this week. The recently-released alternate version of "Love Street" by The Doors, with a cover by George Winston. And Hall & Oates' 1984 hit "Adult Education", with a cover by Emm Gryner.
Kid N Play's "Last Night" samples Esther Williams' "Last Night Changed It All (I Really Had A Ball)".
The snippets of Prince's "Purple Rain" and his cover of Joni Mitchell's "A Case Of You" are from a 1983 solo piano session.
The rest: Art Tatum's late 40s private solo piano version of the Duke Ellington standard "In A Sentimental Mood", the dreamy "Wring French" by Piano Magic, Tammi Lynn's cover of The Doors' "Light My Fire", the playful "Captain Crunch" by Czarface & MF Doom, John Edwards' cover of America's "Tin Man", Lil Wayne's frenzied "Mona Lisa" with Kendrick Lamar, an alternate version of Laura Nyro's "Wedding Bell Blues" performed by Bobbie Gentry, a version of John Lennon's "Isolation" by his good friend Harry Nilsson, Lennon's acoustic version of his "My Mummy's Dead", the mournful "Whisper Softly, Mother's Dying" by Kid Smith And Family, an a cappella version of Bob Dylan's "I Shall Be Released" performed by The Band and Max Waldron's haunting "All Alone".
