Owls October Mix "Going Places" Released


Thanks to Jenna for launching the Owls in style. An excellent mix - I already have had a dream with the Stevie Wonder cut in it. Always love that Johnny Cash flood tune - his biopic is due to be released on November 18 with Joaquin Pheonix playing the Man in Black. Nice Brazilian flavor in here, too. One question, Jenna - what is the story behind "Where's Amila?"

The inaugural Owls mix includes:
"Where's Amila" Amy Borkowsky
"Picture Book" Bill Lloyd and Tommy Womack
"Can I Get a Witness" Marvin Gaye
"If I Let It (Go By)" Gloria Deluxe
"Israelites" Desmond Dekker and the Aces
"Don't Worry About a Thing" Stevie Wonder
"Think" Aretha Franklin
"Five Feet High and Rising" Johnny Cash
"Marrakesh Express" Crosby, Stills and Nash
"Black Crow" Jonie Mitchell
"You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome" Bob Dylan
"Dreams Be Dreams" Jack Johnson
"Sina" Gilberto Gil
"Jura" Zeca Pagodinho
"Big Sky" Matthew Sweet
"Wade In the Water" Eva Cassidy
"St. Exuberant" Paris Combo
"Sailing to Philadelphia" Mark Knopfler
"Boas Vinda" Caetano Veloso
"Blue Skies" Eva Cassidy
"One For My Baby" Ella Fitzgerald
"I Can't Wait To Get Off Work" Tom Waits

Comments:
"where's amila" is from amys answering machine cd which reminds me a lot of my mother. It was a little long but it was the best track. I liked the way it flowed into picture book. I was going to do a loose "family dynamics" based cd but got sidetracked as I always do. I hope you all liked the mix. It was a lot harder to arrange than I had expected in terms of the editing, flow, etc... lots of tweaking and laboring over what works vs. what I like.
As the first person to make a cd I can advise you to leave plenty of time. It definitely took longer than I expected. This was my first cd mix ever and I had a lot of fun making it.
