This is a smoker. Sometime in the late 90's Carl Perkins did a "comeback album" of duets with some interesting people. It shows what a phenomenal talent Perkins is. On this little ditty he shares time with Tom Petty.

Kirikisi from the "Guitar Boy" Sir Victor Uwaifo is an infectious groove from a truly talented African guitarist. Sir Victor Uwaifo (the 'Sir' is apocryphal) is a Nigerian musician, writer, sculptor, and musical instrument inventor, born in Benin City, Edo State, Nigeria in 1941. He is famous for his joromi music. Now you know why.

I was really struck by how much Chuck Jackson's "Lonely Man Am I" provides a bass line that would reappear many times later in reggae. Tremendously soulful tune.
