Wicked Weather for Walking (Driving Away From Home) IT'S IMMATERIAL

Lyrics to Driving Away From Home (Jim's Tune) by It's Immaterial:



Hey, now just get in
And close the door
And put your foot down
You know, I like this suburb we're going through
And I've been around here many times before
When I was young we were gonna move out this way
For the clean air, healthy, you know
Away from the factories and the smoke
I like that shop, too
You can get anything there
So just get in
And we'll go for a ride

'Cos we'll go driving away from home
Thirty miles or more
And we'll go moving away from home
Without a care

I'll tell you what
Why don't we cross the city limit
And head on down the M62
It's only thirty nine miles
And forty five minutes to Manchester
And that's my birth-place, you know

Driving away from home
Thirty miles or more
And we'll go moving away from home
Without a care in the world

Driving away from home
Thirty miles or more
Yes, we'll go moving away from home
Without a care

Some of my friends live up North, too
If you like a longer trip
All you've got to do is put your foot hard down to the floor
And we can call on people I know in Newcastle
Or maybe even Glasgow
There's a lot of nice places to see out there
So just don't worry

Moving away from home
Without a care in the world
Driving away from home
Thirty miles or more
Yes, we'll go moving away from home
Without a care in the world

Move-em on, move-em out, move-em up
King of the road, knight of the road
It's all the same to me
I mean, after all
It's just a road

Driving away from home
Drivin'...
Driving away from home
Drivin'...
Driving away from home
Drivin'...

Pieces of a Dream I LIKE THE WARM WEATHER

I do like the Warm Weather. I do like a jazzy funky groove too. This Pieces of a Dream classic featuring Barbara Walker combines it just right. Produced by Grover Washington Jr. how could you expect less then smooth?

MT. AIRY



This Philadelphia based jazz fusion group first broke with the sublime Mt. Airy Groove, 1982.
Mt. Airy is a break dance classic. Combining Jazz, Funk, Electro and Disco it became a track that was sampled often for it's funky breaks.



I've posted this blog again adding a couple more tracks for your listening pleasure.

PIDGIN ENGLISH FELA STYLE UPSIDE DOWN edit

I don't know a lot about Nigerian revolutionary Fela Anikulapo Kuti but I do know that he is one of the most important afro music luminaries of the twentieth century. A buddy of mine at university back in the mid 80's told me that his music was very influential on dance floors in Ibiza. This buddy who was one of my first introductions to the "jet set" was likely telling it like it is. Italian dj Daniele "Cosmic" Baldelli used to play Fela in his sets at baia degli angeli the seminal 70's Italian disco near Pesaro. Cosmic often played sets of Afro and World music. Afrobeat which was Fela's style of music is a mixture of jazz, funk, rock and traditional African chants and rhythms. Now that's a mouthful!

My two copies were sold in my Ebay store. They sold for a lofty price so it could safely be noted that this 1976 12" release is rather scarce. Fela Ransome Kuti recorded under a multitude of names. This release was under the moniker Fela Anikulapo Kuti and Africa 70.

Here's a fascinating documentary.
