Some fantastic tracks on here, including a few of my favorites from some artists.
“Natural Blues” is possibly my favorite Moby track, particularly with the haunting “Trouble So Hard” by Vera Hall, recorded by Alan Lomax. If you’ve never heard any of the Lomax field recordings I’d highly recommend checking them out.
“Fell On Black Days” and “Tales of Brave Ulysses” are some of my favorite tracks by Soundgarden and Cream and I love “Almost Cut My Hair”.
“Gimme Shelter” is one of my top fives from the Stones. That vocal by Merry Clayton blows me away every time I hear it.
Thank you, Mark! As a matter of fact, I was moved to seek out and discover those (and many many other Alan Lomax recordings) when I first heard this tune back in '99. Really incredible stuff. Say what you want about Moby, but he definitely helped open that door for a lot of people, myself included. Happy listening!
