William Bell: Everyday Will Be Like A Holiday [1967]

Big B is grappling with some technical demons down in Dallas so he asked me to say this on his behalf:

"Here's a vintage soul tune to wind down the year with. A Booker T. Jones / William Bell composition recorded at the legendary studio Stax. The breakdown before the 2 minute mark is brilliant—seconds of sleigh bells, with a touch of guitar, a deep bass walk, vocals and then horns blowing the melody 'jingle all the way' to round everything out."

Nice one. Just listened to the Sting too which I enjoyed, even though he makes me kind of uneasy what with his dabblings in the tantric occult...

You know what I have a hankering for? That Bollywood music from the cab in New Orleans. That, or Kermit Ruffin.

Ain't no shame in my game!!!

I am actually in the process of tracking down some Bollywood sounds. Watch for it in the weeks to come...
