I'm trying to burn a cd but have no idea what songs to pick, I'm mainly looking for something that has a certain "groove" to(you know what I mean) something to chill and cruise by and smoke a fat as.s blunt to.
So far this is what I got:
Freddy's Dead by Curtis Mayfield
Ghetto Child by Curtis Mayfield

Ain't No Love In the Heart of the City by Bobby "Blue" Bland
any suggestion would help, thanks... Drowning in the Sea of Love-Joe Simon
comes to mind........ Just about anything by Sam and Dave:
Hold On, I'm Coming
Soothe Me
Soul Man
Shout - Isley Brothers
Twisting the Night Away - Sam Cooke
Mustang Sally - Wilson Pickett
Hard to Handle - Otis Redding
I Got Dreams to Remember - Otis Redding
Here's a great blues song that I never hear on the radio: Loan Me a Dime - Boz Scaggs (w/Duane Allman) "Hey Now" by Cab Calloway .... good laid back number for a big band tune :) Hoochie Coochie Man by Muddy Water (the greatest blues player ever or one of them)
