Yee haw! Found a couple unexpected keepers tonight. Just cruising around Jukebox Mafia, looking through his old posts, and happened across a Raymond Lewis 45 he posted. What the hell, I decided to give it a whirl. It sounded very New Orleans R & B-ish. Then I looked at the songwriting credit. The co-writer, with Lewis, was one R. Neville. So, I thought this was a Neville Brother relative I hadn't heard of. Nope. But it is New Orleans: N. Neville is, according to this site, a name Allen Toussaint used in the sixties and seventies.
So part two of this screwing around tonight was spent looking for a random Allen Toussaint cut to pad things. I found "The Chokin' Kind," not at a blog, but though a good old fashioned search. There's nothing outrageous about it, but I really dig it. If you know Sticky Fingers era Stones well enough, you could well imagine where some of their grooves came from, or vice versa. Regardless, it has a very similar feel. Let it build. Towards the end, think "Can't You Hear Me Knockin'?"
Your unsolicited tip for today? Go dig through Jukebox Mafia. If you like 45s, and music of the well chosen "never heard it" variety, budget a big chunk of time.
