Part 2 of my mixtape for Derhay featuring women who sing. This one gets more 'eclectic' shall we say, but I feel there will almost certainly be a part three at some point.
tracklist
| 1 | Laura Nyro : Eli's Comin' |
|
A crucial and sadly neglected singer songwriter. This early effort starts and ends like the wonderful late sixties soul number it is, with some psychedelic sixties pop thrown into the middle.

| 2 | Michelle Shocked : Grafitti Limbo |
|
Michelle Shocked helped reinvent the protest song in the 80's. This song works as protest, but it also works as acoustic blues, with great vocals and a lovely mouth harp solo.

| 3 | Big Maybelle : Put Yourself In My Place |
|
A great fifties R&B singer. This track is especially bluesy, and I like it a lot. Recordings are hard to find, but there are appearances on compilation albums. She did a cover of '96 Tears' in the late sixties, and that crops up here and there. There was a compilation album in the early 90s that might still be around.

Hopefully this mixtape is all over the place, so for the next stop some classic soul.

| 5 | Morcheeba : The Sea |
|
I have used this track before, but I love everything about this. It holds bedroom memories for me, but it goes beyond that. Great sensual vocals, and a smattering of trigger-hippy guitar.

| 6 | Bonnie Raitt : The Glow |

| 7 | John & Beverly Martyn : Primrose Hill |
|
Credited to the then married duo of John & Beverly Martyn, this is very much Beverly's track, complete with dated lyrics('All those groovy guys...') and equally groovy sax. It is very old but holds a charm for me that has never worn off.

| 8 | Marcia Ball & Cajun Zydeco : I'd Rather Go Blind |
|
This is a killer version of the old Etta James hit. Marcia's voice stays fairly true to the Etta J original, yet there is a cajun feel to this which makes it unique. Marcia Ball has an album called "Let me Play With Your Poodle" which I think says it all.

| 10 | Mary Gauthier : Wheel Inside The Wheel |
|
I am not one for mainstream Nashville, but I have a friend who sends me alt.country stuff on a regular basis. Some of it passes me by, but I find this extraordinary. I am not sure why, but that is not always a bad thing!
