Kelly Finnigan - The Tales People Tell
According to the credits Kelly plays Drums, Piano, Organ, Percussion, Xylophone, Clavinet, Vibraphone, and Baritone Fuzz Electric Guitar in addition to laying down vocals on this album. Oh yeah, and he wrote, recorded, and produced the album too!

Burning Spear "Marcus Garvey" (1975 Island, original US pressing) This is a great opportunity to spin this reggae fire.
Can't do much kissing right now because the wife is at work but I also tend to avoid playing Sun Ra when she's around, so this boot of the 1988 NPR broadcast is like a "Prelude to a Kiss."
The cover photo featuring the 2013 Arkestra of 20 years after Sun Ra's departure and 25 years after this performance is definitely a strange packaging choice but that's the joy and mystique of boots, I suppose!
(Today's Spotify link is from a show the month before the one I'm currently spinning as it's the closest chronological performance available.)

Charley Crockett - Lil G.L.’s Honky Tonk Jubilee
Seems appropriate to celebrate Juneteenth with a native Texan performing some fantastic covers of Honky Tonk classics.
I love road trips. My wife and I have been doing them together since our first couple months of dating...lots of Michigan trips but some out of state trips too. This year we have a trip to northern MI next week, and a drive to Glacier National in August.
So any trip's mix tape or playlist or iPod shuffle for us is going to have the Beasties on it.
Also, the reflection on vinyl TT from the Isles/TB game is really cool...looks like it's part of the artwork.
