ā€œHey Judeā€ by Wilson Pickett - with Duane Allman on guitar. As an interesting aside, Eric Clapton said Duaneā€™s solo on this cut was his favorite of all time. 'Nuff said.

Taj Mahal, featuring Ry Cooder on guitar. Another fantastic black vocalist / white guitarist combo.

Fuck it lads - welling up here. Grew up listening to this record (amongst others) from my Dadā€™s collection. The intro. Well I can still hear the clarity of that beautiful jangly guitar, with the simple bass line and deft drum touches and the faint crackle of static - gives me goosebumps. Denis Locorriereā€™s vocals are phenomenal - it must have been some thrill for Shel Silverstein to hear his work performed like this. Just perfect.

Listening to Selected Ambient Works II here from start to finish. Havenā€™t done so for a while as I have a Richard D James playlist that I listen to almost daily, but this shit is so good I had forgotten. No idea how I selected (get it) the tracks for my playlist, but have to make some sacrifices.
