William's Song a Day Blog - est. September 2007

From: The Wootens ; Year: 1985; Genre: Funk/Soul The sound on this album really brings back a lot of memories for me; grew up with this kind of music all around me. Even since I discovered this record I have thoroughly enjoyed it. Those five brothers are something; such a talented family of musicians.    Hear Your Style on YouTube.       My song pick 1 year ago today: Rare Earth - Big John Is My Name   My song pick 2 years ago today: The Moody Blues - In My World   My song pick 3 years ago today: Oomph! - Kennst Du Mich?   My song pick 4 years ago today: Rare Earth - 6-3-4-5   My song pick 5 years ago today: Commodores - Nightshift   My song pick 6 years ago today: Pallas - Throwing Stones at the Wind My song pick 7 years ago today: Wolfmother - Mind's Eye My song pick 8 years ago today: Pendragon - If I Were The Wind (and you were the rain) My song pick 9 years ago today: Jethro Tull - Flying Dutchman My song pick 10 years a...

From: The Wootens ; Year: 1985; Genre: Funk Another Funky Friday today; today I felt like picking another one from The Wootens for some reason.

From: The Wootens ; Year: 1985; Genre: Funk/Electronica/Rap Whilst having a very mid-'80s sound from this song, it's total awesomeness to hear all 5 of the Wooten brothers on their own album; you can feel the magic coming through the speakers. It's sad to think that this is the only album, at least that I am aware of, that all five played together; I wish there was more, but you gotta enjoy wot you got. Hear Do I Do on YouTube.
