This is music that exemplifies the word “COOL” to me. Somehow, each song for me represents something cool…a Groove. A day out on the water. A night out on the town. Laughing with your friends at a dive bar in New Orleans or New York…or Miami. Or anywhere. It’s daydrinking and nightcrawling and it’s tequila shots at dawn, followed by breakfast and some new embarrassing stories.
So with all this preamble, I’ve called this musical mixtape Old School SuperCool. Many of you will know all the songs. Or maybe you won’t. Maybe there’s a chance to learn a new cool song. That’s a bonus. It’s rock, blues, soul, sort-of country, yacht rock and music that’s tough to categorize. It’s Maxwell and BB King; Portishead and Jimmy Buffett (sort-of country); Marvin Gaye and Lou Reed and many, many more.
