I can see you've had a rough few months (Eclectic Playlist Series 8.02)

This ongoing parade of strange bedfellows started when I got sidetracked into watching a documentary on Genesis, took a detour on George Harrison's birthday (when I randomly discovered that he did not in fact write "Got My Mind Set On You"), and was thrown for another loop at the last minute by the word of mouth swirling around Cassandra Jenkins' brand-new album, which required finding a place for "Hard Drive." Lots of other goodies in here, including what is surely one of the great covers of all time (Cake doing "I Will Survive"; I mean come on--the arrangement, the vocals, the bass line, just perfection) and an admittedly unusual side trip into what might be considered "smooth jazz" (yikes?) except that Bob James/Earl Klugh song, however mellow (okay, smooth), has a beautiful inevitability about it. Consider it a respite ahead of the more prickly tracks to follow. For more information visit https://fingertipsmusic.com/2021/02/28/i-can-see-youve-had-a-rough-few-months/.
