This one begins with a solo voice to draw you in. And what a voice, Jenn Wasner of Wye Oak, who also makes music on her own as Flock of Dimes.

So very enjoyable from start to finish! You are truly gifted at this George. And I've learned new artists with every single one of your playlists. With this one, several new artists for me to check out!
Thank you Christine! I like sharing old and new music that I've discovered. Glad you like the fresh sounds!
Lovely....
Thank you for listening! Glad you enjoyed it!
For me, this is your best summer mix yet. I especially liked the DeJohnette (et al), Herb Alpert, Donald Fagen, Ali Farka Touré, and very especially Chaka Kahn' use of that harp just wailing away, and Ana Moura with the oboe (or Asian equivalent) by itself and then through a voice synthesizer (or some device). Very nice.
Thank you Andy! I always appreciate your insightful comments. And I'm happy that I made your favorite mix of them all!
Really smooth and relaxed. Btw I love the Herb Alpert & Donald Fagen Track.
Thank you Joe! I like Herb's late 70s/early 80s music, especially the slow disco like this one. And I think Donald Fagen's solo albums have a lot of great tracks that aren't well known. Glad you liked it!
