I’m on the road today, delivering the work for my show next week at the Principle Gallery. My day will be filled with music from my iPod and I thought I’d share an old nugget from the past, a song that is incredibly infectious. It was a staple on my boombox when I used to build swimming pools, mainly because it’s driving beat kicked up the pace a little when I would start wilting in the summer heat. Besides, everyone needs a shot of sax and an extra dose of the organ Hammond organ every now and then.
Here’s Shotgun from the great Junior Walker and the All-Stars from Hullabaloo in the mid 60’s. And yes, that is Dean Jones introducing the song. Enjoy!
