03-26-19: The Future Won't Last, It Will Soon Be Over Tomorrow

"Take It Easy" is a song co-written by Jackson Browne and Glenn Frey. The latter recorded the first version as the debut single for his band The Eagles, who had a #12 hit with in in 1972. Browne recorded his own version for an album the following year but that single did not chart. This mix includes both versions as well as a cover by Buck Owens from 1978.

"It Don't Come Easy" was co-written by former Beatles Ringo Starr and George Harrison, but credited to Starr only. It was a non-album single from 1971, Starr's first since the breakup of the Beatles. Harrison plays guitar on the track. A previous mix featured the original single. This mix features a liver version by Starr with Harrison from the 1971 Concert For Bangladesh, a recent cover by Bettye Lavette and a rare studio version by Harrison with the same basic backing as the single except with some "hare krishna" chorus.

One other song repeats this week: the album and 45 versions of "Try Me" by the enigmatic former street hustler Wee, from his only album You Can Fly My Aeroplane released in 1977.

01-29-15: I Could Stay With You Forever And Never Realize The Time

"You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go" is a song from Bob Dylan's 1975 album Blood On the Tracks. The official album version as well as covers by Mary Lou Lord, Madeleine Peyroux, and Elvis Costello have all appeared on previous mixes. This mix features three recently unearthed studio versions.

"Blood Count" is a 1967 composition by Duke Ellington's writing partner Billy Strayhorn. Originally called Blue Cloud, it was retitled as Strayhorn completed it in the hospital while dying of cancer. Previous mixes include Ellington's original studio recording and a live recording by Stan Getz and Chet Baker. This mix includes Getz's studio version, Ellington performing it live in Paris in 1967 and Elvis Costello singing a version called "My Flame Burns Blue" with lyrics he added to the original.

"While My Guitar Gently Weeps" is a George Harrison composition for his band The Beatles' self-titled 1968 album, known as "The White Album". Previous mixes have included an instrumental cover by Moody, a live performance by George for The Concert For Bangladesh, an interpolation by The Wu-Tang Clan with George's son Dhani among others, the official album version and an officially-released alternate version. This mix adds three recently released alternate studio versions.

One other Harrison composition is featured here. The Harrison-written "Something" appears on the 1969 Beatles album Abbey Road. Previous mixes include the original and demo as well as covers by Peggy Lee, Sarah Vaughan, The Sundowners, Pavement, Isaac Hayes, James Brown, Carmen McRae, Junior Walker & The All-Stars, Bobby Womack performing live and George himself performing live. Harrison called James Brown's version his favorite. It is behind "Yesterday" as the second most recorded Beatles song. And they are the only two Beatles songs Frank Sinatra ever recorded, and "Something" is the only one he recorded twice. This mix includes both versions: one that was a 1970 non-album single with arrangement by Lennie Heyton and the other a Nelson Riddle arrangement for Sinatra's 1979 album Trilogy: Past Present Future.

Jay-Z's  1998 soundtrack collaboration "What The Game Made Me" samples Don Blackman's eponymous 1982 album.

The rest: Billy Stewart's 1968 single "Cross My Heart", a vinyl-only rare remix of Nice & Smooth's "Cake & Eat It Too", The Sweet Inspirations' forlorn "Gotta Find (A Brand New Lover) (Pts. 1 & 2)", John Gary Williams' mellow "The Whole Damn World Is Going Crazy", the soulful "Good-Bye" by Sheisty Khrist & Devine Carama, the fierce "Refugee" by Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, a cover of The Replacements' "Bastards Of Young" by Katy Goodman and Greta Morgan and a cover of The Beatles' A Day In The Life" by Bobbi Boyle & The Trio.

This mix is also for the fox who lives in my heart.

"Speak Low" is a standard composed by Kurt Weill with lyrics by Ogden Nash. It was introduced in the 1943 Broadway musical One Touch Of Venus. The opening line is a reference to Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing. This mix features a rare version from the 40s with Weill himself playing piano to Ira Gershwin's voice, as well as versions by Billie Holiday, Peggy Lee and Ella Fitzgerald with Joe Pass.

"In The Morning" is an early Bee Gees song first recorded in 1966, then re-recorded as "Morning Of My Life" in 1970. This mix includes both versions as well as a live and studio version by Nina Simone.

"In Love" is a b-side and track from the 1979 eponymous debut album by The Raincoats. This mix also includes a cover of that by Linda Smith.

"Children's Song" is from the 1964 Samuel Fuller film noir The Naked Kiss, featuring Constance Towers with a cast of children.
