“ A dusty mix for a mood-lifting escape to simpler times. ”
featuring Sinnerman by Nina Simone
Need a lift? This is a simple little mix of some feel goods, a splash of empowering words, a touch of reflective honky tonk and a sprinkle of raw power.
In forty minutes you will be in a goose-bump, tingling trance held together by one of the most lightning-in-a-bottle performances of Nina Simone’s in Sinnerman. If you haven’t yet given that track the time it deserves, now is your chance.
A little bonus to this mix: I’m hoping it’s an algorithm catalyst that can spiral into an interesting niche of gospel, newgrass, jazz and soul.
