Their bandleader is from Cuba, which I know is in North America but that’s as close to South America as my collection has gotten so far.

Day 12 - Motivational
Play something that drives you

I need some aggressive music to motivate me to go to work. This or music like it usually does the trick, even if it's for a short time.

Day 12 - Motivational
Play something that drives you.

The Daptone Super Soul Revue - Live! At the Apollo

I'm going with the word motivational today because this fantastic album was the first thing that popped in my head when I read that word. Don't know if I'd say it drives me exactly, but I do find it motivational! If you haven't given this one a look yet then you really should, it's fantastic.

Aaah, still need this!

I just realized it was “motivational” not “inspirational”…

Day 12 - Motivational
Funk Inc. - Funk Inc.
View attachment 121226
Cover of B.B. King’s “The Thrill is Gone”

Same difference - I'm pretty sure I had it as Inspirational at one point, bonus points for the double shot! That Funk Inc. is on my wantlist!

Day 12 - Motivational

Drive-By Truckers ‎– Brighter Than Creation's Dark


Both "something that drives you" and something to drive to, DBT has provided the fuel for my fire many times through the years - and probably more miles than any other band.

Day 13 - Synthesizer

Claudio Simonetti's Goblin – Profondo Rosso


Goblin! Goblin! Goblin! Goblin!
