Thursday Morning Music Shuffle - Please Pass the Jam Mix

The shuffle occurred in the morning.  The post in the afternoon. Not a cover shuffle, but one very sweet cover song... Wild ride this morning. Here goes:

The first song is dedicated to Rex Silo - toking on some cathedral mountains... "they say he got crazy once and tried to touch the sun." that Colorado Rocky Mountain High - John Denver. Oh yeah...

 


Next up - yeah yeah, I should probably rename the blog The End Men to the Ground blah blah blah... truth is I'm really digging on this album right now... so put your sorry's in a sack... or something...  Anyway, today I listened to They're All Gonna Cost Ya which features some mighty fine vocal dueling from Matthew and Frittata. 


 


Finally, just before I listened to the second End Men track of the morning (see the previous post), I came up with a cover song and man what a sweet sound....  Erin Dickins was a founding member of The Manhattan Transfer.  She recently connected with me on Twitter and so today I offer up a song from her new album Nice Girls.  This one is a cover of a song originally performed by Julie London and co-written by Bobby Troup (who was married to Julie London).  From my childhood, I know they will forever be nurse Dixie McCall and
Dr. Joe Early from Emergency!.   Anyway, the song is a smooth jazzy pop song called Nice Girls Don't Stay for Breakfast.
