My favorite radio show comes on every Saturday night at midnight and it's called "Blues Before Sunrise", hosted by the great Steve Cushing.
It's a 5 hour show that plays vintage blues music until right before dawn comes. The last hour always starts out with something called the "Soul Breakfast" which Steve explains is the 'area that Jazz and the Blues share in common'.
It's always oddly relaxing, if a bit cheesy ... It's a strange and dreamy part of the show because every now and then, Steve will include some really extended piano and organ pieces and mood music that otherwise doesn't ordinarily fit in with the rest of the program (which is strictly vintage blues music). For this reason, the "Soul Breakfast" has always intrigued me and I tried to encapsulate its essence here with this very mellow and jazzy mixtape.
As always,
*** ENJOY ***
