Greetings all

We’re keeping things in a Chicago groove today with something hot from the mighty Alvin Cash.

Though he was born in St Louis, Cash was forever associated with Chicago.

He (and his brothers) were discovered by Andre Williams, and had their first hit with ‘Twine Time’ in 1965.

Cash soon went out on his own, recording string of dance 45s with the Registers (and under his own name) through the mid-60s and into the 70s.

The tune I bring you today is one of the harder Alvin Cash 45s to find, and definitely his funkiest.

‘Stone Thing Pts 1&2’ was released on the Westbound label in 1970.

It has a heavy groove, and at 1:36 drops down into a tasty drum break.

Pt2 is more of a variation on theme, restating the groove, with the guitar (the rhythm guitar is especially nice) getting a little more shine.

So pull down the ones and zeros and cut yourself a slice of rug.

I’ll see you all on Friday.

Keep the faith

Larry
