The Late Rufus Thomas (in action at WattsStax)

Hot on the heels of last Sunday’s mix (posted earlier); here’s the mix I threw together this morning.

As is often the case, all taken from 45 (no LPs this time) and mostly from original copies.

This was another “grab and play” session without much thought for anything really, just grabbing tunes and dropping the needle.

I hope there’s something in this mix that grabs you!
