First up Sly, Slick, & Wicked and their track, "Confessin' A Feelin." This is a live version and it's on point!! Pretty perfect, it's super chilled out but executed so well, don't forget it's live, I like how it sounds like it's recorded at a party, the light chatter in the beginning while those first vocals drop are awesome. Like I could just stumble onto these dudes at a backyard pool party or something. Check them out below.

Next up is Tommy McGee with, "We Ought To Be Together." Check out this awesome write up on Ear Fuzz. That's where I got the track from, apparently the vinyl goes for thousands of dollars. Both cuts from the 45 are on this mix.

One more from the falsetto, smooth, laid back section. It's your boy Mayer Hawthorne doing a cover of, "Thin Moon" by his fellow Stones Throw family member, James Pants. They did this trade off cover thing where Mayer did this song and James Pants did, "Green Eyed Loved." A little bit about him, "Mr. Pants is a purveyor par excellence of that unmistakable “fresh beat”: 80’s Soul, Electro Boogie, Early Rap, New Wave, & Post-Punk Disco, all of which can be found on Welcome where James plays drums, keys, guitar and sings." His whole profile can be found here.

Soul Mix 4 is in the bag and I actually think it's better than this one but this should be fine. You just have to get in the right mood and headset. It picks up a little bit at the end but most of it is chill out type jams. Rent a big ass Caddy and roll somewhere with the top down.

The guitar break on thAt al green song is dope!
