This one has just been like an emotional earworm for me this week, not sure why, but it's a great performance. From "Lost on the River" which is a great cd where others write songs based on Bob Dylan lyrics he never turned into a song.

"Kansas City" sung by Marcus Mumford

I really enjoyed this documentary on Showtime. Watched it all the way through twice and have seen bits and pieces multiple times.

'Come Back to Me' - I don't know the Janet Jackson record this is based on but this arrangement really wormed its way into my skull last night. Haven't played the record in many years but the moment it began it reminded me of how it had done the same thing way back when.

Dixie Nightingales " All I Need is Some Sunshine in My Life" (Chalice unreleased)

Love this, it's on one o' them X,000 Volts of Stax things I have, no doubt partially 'cause I been there, felt that...

Your`re right, this one is from the "3000 Volts of Stax" compilation and there is another great alternative take featured on V.A "Don`t disturb my Soul - Gospel of Chalice" (Ace) released in1991.....and agreed, this recording never fails to move me....a close second from the same source IMO is "Assassination"...

The Evans/King version of "I Can't Win" from Ry Cooder's Bop Til You Drop has been known to have a similar effect on me.

Aretha Franklin "I Never Loved A Man (The Way I Love You)" from the eponymous album released in 1967

I always loved this quote from Evan Eisenberg's The Recording Angel, a book I reread every few years. Eisenberg says that Jerry Wexler, "took Aretha Franklin from hapless Columbia, set her down in a Muscle Shoals studio, and tossed her 'I Never Loved a Man (The Way I Love You)' as one tosses a lighted match at petroleum."
