Mr. Mendel - Boogie With The Channel (Very Low Bit Rate) TBA

The incomparable Tina Turner at her Boldest and Baddest. I beefed up the drums a bit on this edit and gave it some room to build. Off their 1969 album, The Hunter, "Bold Soul Sister" resulted in Tina receiving her first Grammy nomination as a solo artist. It was during this time that Ike Turner, who had once been a teetotaler and drug-free, turned to cocaine after being introduced to the drug by, he says, "two famous Las Vegas headliners". In 1969, after another violent confrontation with Ike, Tina bought 50 Valiums and swallowed them all in an attempt to end her life before a show in Los Angeles; Tina eventually recovered.

Ike & Tina Turner- Bold Soul Sister (Jack Frost Edit)

Just fucking around with some Bluegrass for kicks...

Earl Eugene Scruggs (January 6, 1924 – March 28, 2012) was an American musician noted for perfecting and popularizing a three-finger banjo-picking style (now called "Scruggs style") that is a defining characteristic of bluegrass music. Although other musicians had played in three-finger style before him, Scruggs shot to prominence when he was hired by Bill Monroe to fill the banjo slot in his group, the Blue Grass Boys.

Scruggs joined Bill Monroe's Blue Grass Boys in late 1945, and quickly popularized his syncopated, three-finger picking style. In 1948 Scruggs and guitarist Lester Flatt left Monroe's band and formed the Foggy Mountain Boys, also later known simply as Flatt and Scruggs. Flatt and Scruggs became members of the Grand Ole Opry in the 1950s. In 1969, they broke up, and he started a new band, the Earl Scruggs Revue, featuring several of his sons.
