The Saturday Shuffle reaches double figures this week with another three random tunes from my gym MP3 player.
We start with one of the great one hit wonders of the early 80's from the Canadian band Martha & the Muffins with Echo Beach. It seems, however, that there was indeed more than one string to their bow as this ICA from Alec G over at JC's place suggests.
A little bit of Rockabilly is always welcome while exercising and a couple of rockabilly numbers have already featured in this series. Here we have Brian Setzer of Stray Cats and Brian Setzer Orchestra fame.I Should'a Had a V8 is taken from his 9th solo studio album 2004's Rockabilly Riot!All Original.
I'm not sure that Billie Holliday is necessarily the best fit for gym music but I'm always up for any opportunity to feature her. He's Funny That Way is taken from a terrific Uncut compilation The Devil's Music a selection of Blues, Soul and R&B classics curated by Keith Richards.
More shuffling next Saturday
