Tunesday Tunes on Inauguration Day

[Slosh]

How's the instrumental disc? Kinda pricey for the pair, not sure if I'll get the deluxe on this one, but looks pretty cool.

It's good as background music goes but I say save your money and get the regular version. Oh, and check your PM

I was at work and was not going to watch the innauguration (I'm swamped, testimony due, etc...) but I got to thinking about my Mom and Dad and how he'd marched on Washington with King and was a grandson of a slave (he died at age 91) so I wrangled my way into a nice party at a friends house.

My Innauguation day CD would include.

"A Change's Gonna Come" - Sam Cook
"People Get Ready" - Curtis Mayfield and the Impressions.
"Get Up Stand Up" - Bob Marley and the Wailers
"Amen" - Curtis Mayfield and the Impressions
"Move On Up" - Curtis Mayfield and the Impressions
"What's Going On?" - Marvin Gaye
"Tribute to the Martyrs" - Steel Pulse
"Amazing Grace" - Aretha Franklin
"America the Beautiful:" - Ray Charles
"Imagine" - John Lennon
"This Land is My Land" - Ole Pete
"We're a Winner" - Curtis Mayfield and the Impressions
"The Times They Are A Changin" - Bob Dylan.
"Fight The Power" - Public Enemy

Case you haven't figured it out, you could rightly say that Curtis Mayfield wrote the Soundtrack for the Civil Rights movement. A vastly underated talent who transformed himself from "minstrel" tell of teenaged love to champion of civil rights to chronicler of urban decay and despair. You couldn't go wrong with the above.

Looks good to me. Like any good American I have nearly all of those so I think I'll make a playlist and give it a spin.

Yes, Curtis Mayfield is the man. His music exposes both that which is just and right and the dreaded underbelly of our culture...which is why "Pusherman" fits so well on the critically acclaimed, film noire Felony Boulevard Soundtrack...
