"A track from a recent film from probably my favourite director (Aki Kaurismäki). The band’s name translates as Spice Girls (I think mainly because in a previous incarnation they were called Cinnamon Girls, not because of their repertoire!)."

Hope all RPMers are well and enjoying this respite from the heat. One oldie, one newie and one from a gig at Union Chapel last week."

Keep on the Sunny Side by The Carter Family -
"I was listening to ‘A Higher Consciousness Of Sound And Spirit’ which Kahil El' Zabar brought out last year. I was annoyed that I couldn’t find a way to split the tracks apart but I found this gem while trying! It is a live version of an original that was on 'Spirit Groove’, an album that came out a few years ago…"
In My House by Kahil El'Zabar & David Murray Duo -
"I am amazed that I haven’t posted this before. The originally issued version..."
I'm Into Something Good by The Cookies -

"Best wishes to all, as always."
"Here are my choices."
Midnight In Harlem by Tedeschi Trucks Band - "Some great slide playing on this one."
If Heaven by Gretchen Peters - "A real shame this talented singer/songwriter no longer tours - always a delight to see and hear."
Delicate by Terence Trent D'arby (Sananda Matreya) - "Not sure whether Terence or Sanandra is going to turn up but |'ve booked to see him at the Waterfront in October. I vowed to never darken their door again having grown fed up by both the ultra-noisy drinkers at the bar drowning out the act - even when I'm standing next to the stage + the phone owners intent on getting a souvenir fillum to send to their mates but giving it another try."
