This was a fantastic find at this Sunday's boot sale - a great set of funky, instrumental cover versions of classic songs we all know and (probably) love. Yes, yes I hear you say, we've heard it all before, and that would be true, but not quite like this.Wikipedia has this to say about 'em:
I imagine the Tru-Tones set the dancefloors on fire in St. Lucia's hotel nightclubs and cabaret venues."The Tru Tones are a Saint Lucian band led by Ronald "Boo" Hinkson. The band formed in the 1960s and had a significant following in the 70s in the United Kingdom. They recorded five albums and several singles, most famously "Hungry Belly', "Burning Eyes" and "Sexy Thing" (remake of the Hot Chocolate song).
Since the Tru Tones break-up, Hinkson has had a successful solo career and toured across the world."
Tracklist:
01 Light My Fire
02 This Guy's in love With You
03 Aquarius
04 California Dreaming
05 It Must Be Him
06 Pan Man
07 House of the Rising Sun
08 By the Time I Get to Phoenix
09 Don't Let the Sun Catch You Cryin'
10 Sock it to Me

Get it HERE.

Very fun - thank you!
Wow, what a lovely and personal version of California Dreamin! Playin it now for the third time in a row while downloading the entire set. Surely looks like another winner.
Big thanks and hope you too have a very pleasent weekend! Here in Stockholm it's still all gloomy and snowy but while closing my eyes dreaming away to Californian pastures this Saturday afternoon all of sudden turned so much better! :)
