My ipod was in a bluesy, soulful mood–no doubt, in anticipation of Motown–and here’s some of the best stuff that popped up:
1. Poor Man’s Plea–Buddy Guy and Junior Wells
2. Bleeding Heart–Jimi Hendrix
3. At Last–Etta James
4. Crossroads–Robert Johnson (thrilling, like a ghost in the box; forgot I had it.)
5. I’m a Nothing Man–the extremely, insidiously candid R. L. Burnside
