Funky Soul-Folk from the Spanish duo, Elkin & Nelson (looking kinda glam-Romantic on the cover of their 1974 album). The groove just gets deeper and deeper as they jam it out, almost mantra-like, and then the drums kick in. Got this one on repeat throughout the morning.
Chris Squire (March 4, 1948--June 27, 2015) →
Chris Squire (RIP) was one of the greatest, if not THEE greatest, bass player in rock history: forceful yet graceful, unerringly melodic yet wallopingly rhythmic, virtuosic yet frequently funky. Not only that, but he was also a strong vocalist and a charming raconteur. While his work with Yes is clearly immortal, here's my favorite track from his wall-to-wall excellent solo album.
