Another Saturday, another shuffle. It's relentless.
You know the drill by now. Three random songs from my gym MP3 player. As an aside I think I am the only person there who still has earphones connected via a cable as opposed to earbuds or whatever.
Let's start with our cover stars Ike and Tina Turner. Mojo Queen is taken from an excellent Mojo magazine compilation Southern Soul from April 2005. One that you would be happy to pay hard cash for.
Next up we are off to Kentucky and to Harlan County to be precise .This absolute belter by Jim Ford was first brought to my attention by Andy Kershaw on his Radio 3 programme leading me to purchase the album of the same name This is also available on the 2021 Ace compilation Choctaw Ridge - New Fables of the American South 1968-1973 which is also well worth having.
We end with Gangs a song by Honeyblood from their 2016 album Babes Never Die where singer Stina Tweeddale sings about growing up in the Oxgangs district in Edinburgh.
Ike & Tina Turner - Mojo Queen
More random nonsense next Saturday
"Born into poverty, raised in misery. " It's a song you can never tire of listening to
