    Yeah, Steve Cropper has passed, a veteran of rockin' blues. Called my blues man Don, we shared a few moments.

  5. Came today from a discogs seller in MA! #vinyl #stax #staxVolt

    Things about this record:

    - “Behave Yourself” was originally the A side, and it was on Volt. DJs preferred “Green Onions” so they rereleased it on Stax just a couple months later with the A/B labeling reversed
    - Lewie Steinberg on bass. Duck Dunn didn’t join the group until 1965

  6. ProfDJ's killer cuts for your streaming shuffle, No.19

    Albert King. Born Under a Bad Sign

    As well as producing some great soul, Stax records was also the home of a sort of soul-blues fusion, of which this Albert King track is a wonderful example. A great blues, with a massive horn arrangement, and a soulful/funky beat; its such a great groove.

    And if it sounds familiar, you may have heard Cream's nearly note for note cover (which, of course, lacks the horns).

  19. Don't you ever be sad.
    Lean on me when times are bad.
    When the day comes
    and you're down
    in a river of trouble
    and about to drown...
    Just hold on, I'm comin'🏊🏻‍♀️
    Hold on, I'm comin'🏊🏻‍♀️
    I'm on my way, your lover.
    If you get cold...
    YEAH, I'll be your cover!
    Don't have to worry cuz I'm here.
    No need to suffer, baby,
    cuz I'm near.
