Bukka White

Aberdeen Mississippi Blues.  Spectacular!

Ballrooms of Mars

You gonna look fine
Be primed for dancing
You're gonna trip and glide
All on the trembling plane
Your diamond hands
Will be stacked with roses
And wind and cars
And people of the past

Robert Lee Burnside

R.L. Burnside from The Land Where the Blues Began (1978).

I first heard Burnside, along with Joe Callicott and Houston Stackhouse on volume 2 of the Arhoolie Mississippi Delta Blues "Blow My Blues Away" compilation.  The two volumes collect recordings made by George Mitchell in 1967 & 1968.  Highly recommended!  Burnside's wiki is an interesting read and offers some excellent links to interviews and tribute sites.

Ennio Morricone

Ennio Morricone's 1972 soundrack to Un Uomo Da Rispettare (A Man To Respect). 

I first heard this on the Crime and Dissonance compilation and it grabbed me by the face and left squeeze marks.  Give it a full listen and pull together your crew for one last job.

This poster is for the disco version of Un Uomo da Rispettare released as The Master Touch.

The Hamburg waterfront looks like nice place for a picnic with your crew.
