Cruisin' along with awesome cover tunes. Big favs in Stampeders' version of Ray Charles' "Hit the Road Jack," Local H's take on Concrete Blonde's "Joey," the Ataris' awesome take on Henley's "The Boys of Summer" and Warrant's "Tie Your Mother Down." Also Savoy Brown's "Tell Mama" and the Five Stairsteps' "Getting Better." I enjoy the whole mix. I hope you do too. Enjoy!

Summer Beats on the Beach 3: Slow Dancin'
16 super awesome slow dancin' tracks, from 1966-72. All favs, but my super favs are both renditions of "(Let's Take A) Holiday" by The Honeys, and Dick & Dee Dee. The latter is titled "The Escape Suite," but still the same tune. The Sands of Time's "Where Did We Go Wrong" is a big, big fav. The New Lime's take on Ritchie Valens' "Donna" is a worthy cover. Strawberry Children's "Love Years Coming" is another big fav. White Plains' "I Can't Stop" is another. They're all good. Enjoy!
Drive Baby Drive, Vol. 3: On the Road!
16 more tracks for the road. Max Webster's "On the Road" is undoubtedly my favorite in the mix. Gordon Lightfoot's "Carefree Highway" is a well known track and still a goodie. Albatross do a great cover of "Tobacco Road." Cry of Love's "Highway Jones" and The Pharaohs' "Freedom Road" are a couple of more favs. They're all good. Enjoy!

Rare Gems from the Gravel Pit 2: 1966
NOTE: Revised Edition!
16 short 'n' sweet garage rock tracks from '66. Favs? "Uh-Uh-Uh" by Canadian Squires. Written by Robbie Robertson (The Band). The Canadian Squires was an alias of Levon and The Hawks (pre-The Band). The Fifth Order's "Walkin' Away" is another fav. State of Mind's "Move" would be another one right up there, along with The Young Enterprise's "Think I'm Gonna Make It." They're all good. Enjoy!
NOTE: Track 3 (Canadian Squires - Uh-Uh-Uh) is from '65. Track 14 (The Split Ends - Rich with Nothin') may have been released in '67.
