Jump into this Morning Playlist to Get the Body Moving – Feet First!!
So this morning I set out to create a short playlist composed of tunes that usually get me moving (at least my feet) and put me in a good mood! I started the playlist with the classic “Uncle Pen” and the version I chose was from Leon Russell‘s Hank Wilson is Back album. Leon covers, this song and all the other classic’s on the album so well!!
After Leon, I started thinking about other artists whose music gets me moving. One of the main ones is fiddler Michael Cleveland and what better song title for the playlist than “Fiddler Joe” ! Next came the progressive bluegrass band Greensky Bluegrass I wanted to choose the version of “Bont’s Breakdown” from the album Live at Bells but for some reason Spotify could not play it this morning. So the version on this playlist is from Less than Supper Whenever I think of Greensky Bluegrass, I always think of this next band, Cornmeal another progressive bluegrass and jamgrass band. The song I chose was “Hasten Jason” Which displays their frantic style!
Then came the legendary Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs and the classic “Foggy Mountain Breakdown” Thinking about it maybe I should have chosen The Earl Scruggs Revue version of “Salty Dog”….hmmm?
I closed the playlist with my wife’s favorite band Flogging Molly and the song that they usually opens their show “Drunken Lullabies” and why do they do that – because it gets everyone up and moving!!!
So there it is – Everyone’s toes tapping now!! Do you have some favorites that always get you moving??
Here are posts that I have written about each of these six artists…..followed by the playlist
