Just diggin' on instrumentals tonight, and these just hit the spot. The first one, probably too slow to even be called a slow jam, is Booker T and the MGs' version of "Summertime". The sucker is either for the slow dance of the century or some serious heavy petting in slo mo. Break out the Courvoisier, or light a big fatty, I don't care.
After that, pick things up with the Mar-Keys' "Philly Dog" (the B-side to "Last Night") and then onto the Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band and "Spreadin' Honey" with hand claps so prominent that when the handclap solo comes (yes, there is one), you feel like the laughs on you.
As you exit, do take a second to revisit The Midniters' "Whittier Blvd". Love the song, could definitely do without the intro, but, man, it's a solid jam.
