Deep Track of the Day #145 - 7/15/21 America - "Here" from America
I love how this song builds up and progresses only to suddenly return to its serene beginning. Plenty of songs do this, of course, but I love the quality of this one in particular. I love how it has such great momentum and then crash lands you back at the beginning for the ending.

Deep Track of the Day #146 - 7/16/21 Smokey Robinson and the Miracles - "A Fork in the Road" from Going to a Go-Go
From the light pitched percussion to the strings to the soothing vocals, this song is perfect in every way. It was a single from the album, but was never much of a hit, which is a shame.

As an aside Chuck Jackson thought this tune was a smash and when Smokey heard it he told Chuck it would never be a hit and it only got to Number 50.Personally I think it's an amazing arrangement and tune:

Beautiful album track-Smokey had a beautiful voice.Here's one of my fave Miracles tunes: I have a Smokey Robinson boxed set somewhere. I grew up with my dad's R&B, Motown, and soul records. No matter how much rock is in my blood, my nostalgia for my formative years is fed by THIS music right here.

Deep Track of the Day #147 - 7/17/21 The Guess Who - "Three More Days" from Share The Land
The harmonies, the swirling vibe guitar, the electric piano. So mesmerizing. And before Braveheart, this is what I associate screaming the word "freedom" with. Such a legendary scream before the guitar/flute solo section. This song is quite wild journey that I am always keen to go on.

Deep Track of the Day #148 - 7/18/21 Eminem - "Business" from The Eminem Show
The Eminem Show had hit after hit that broke through the mainstream. Songs like Without Me and Cleaning Out My Closet were everywhere. And crossover genre songs like Sing for the Moment were minor hits as well. However, Business was one of the leading tracks for the album but didn't make much of a splash. It's a shame given how infectious the hook was.
This whole album was pretty huge when it came out, to a degree that I think may not be understandable to younger audiences. It was the last hurrah of MTV around that time, as well, and there was a resurgence of garage bands around that time as well, but rap was breaking through the mainstream in a way that hadn't been seen before thanks to blockbuster artists like Jay-Z, who had just the last year performed at the Concert for New York after 9/11. Nowadays we take it for granted that rap has such a broad platform.

Deep Track of the Day #149 - 7/19/21 Parliament – “Unfunky UFO” from Mothership Connection
Parliament are one of those bands where you can hear the sense of fun built into the music. Parliament enjoyed being weird, and thus they were quite adventurous musically. Unfunky UFO is a more accessible track, I think, for the uninitiated. More straightforward. But it sounds no less like THEM. As understated as it is here, it's still impossible to mistake the late Bernie Worrell's warm synth tones, and especially impossible to ignore the late Glenn Goins' iconic vocals.
Glenn Goins died tragically young from an aggressive form of cancer, but you can hear his vocals on several Parliament albums of the late 70s. Bernie Worrell would later go on to work with the Talking Heads, and even produced an incredibly strange album with Les Claypool called Colonel Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains. Parliament was like a one stop shop for some of the most talented musicians.

I saw Parliment/Funkadelic a couple of years ago at WOMAD, even though George Clinton & some of his band are a little long in the tooth now they still put on a show. In fact this was probably one of the best gigs I have seen.
