Yeah, I know I'm a day late, but here it is anyway. This is a mix of 60's rock and soul from around the time my mother was graduating from high school. She was what I would call a "semi-hippie" -- went to Woodstock, got married in a park with no shoes on, but never really got into the drugs or the more radical politics of the era. This mix represents what I see as some of the best stuff from that period, not necessarily my mom's favorites (the only record she ever played was Joni Mitchell's Blue, which is from '71, so I left it off this). I put it together one night while hanging out (and getting drunk ;) with my mother-in-law, a self-proclaimed former "Flower Child", so she also had a lot of influence over the song choice (e.g. I never would have thought to add The Righteous Brothers - thanks Marguerite!). These are the really obvious best-of-the-60's tracks -- nothing obscure or challenging, just great.
So Happy (Belated) Mother's Day and Enjoy!
Mother's Day Mix (aka 60's Rock & Soul)
We were just listening to some Righteous Brothers records. The little one was awesome.
