237 mixes with tracks by “Irma+Thomas”

Music to drive through the desert to.

An hour and a half of golden nuggets. Laid back and straight ahead, with sweet dose of New Orleans heart and soul.

A blend of songs I remember listening to on records in my grandparents basement. When I hear them I close my eyes and go back 50 years in time.

Songs by Frank Sinatra, Etta James, and Johnny Mathis.

Part II of my soul selection mix. Some jazz, r/b from the 60s and 70s, and select modern tracks that reflect that era. Lots of samples taken from these joints. Some joyful, some melancholic. Anything that reaches inside....

Floor Filling, Foot Stomping Soul Music!

New Orleans...one of my favorite cities to visit. I need to plan another trip there soon! This mix features 8 tracks by well-known New Orleans artists...

folk from all nooks & crannies, wide-open fields, dirty old city streets. mountains & prairies; northeastsouth&west (that's twenty-six songs that deserve your ears).
