  3. Spike says "Groove Grease" sounds and looks mighty fine. Here's another cut, "Maggie," from his 1994 album Right Turn on Blue. ~tfpMac1nUoc.mp3~

  7. Spike says "Blue Juice" is kick-ass. The cover art begs certain questions though, such as, is she crawling away from, towards or like a worm? Would a Shirley Scott album cover show a man posed like that in the grass?

  8. Bartleby says That cover of "Goose Grease" combined with "Blue Juice" brings a whole of possibilities in this little mind here. -- Burning Dervish wrote a nice eulogy the other day.
