Greetings all<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

We\u2019re keeping things in a Chicago groove today with something hot from the mighty Alvin Cash.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Though he was born in St Louis, Cash was forever associated with Chicago.<\/p>\n

He (and his brothers) were discovered by Andre Williams,<\/strong> and had their first hit with \u2018Twine Time\u2019 in 1965.<\/p>\n

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

The tune I bring you today is one of the harder Alvin Cash 45s to find, and definitely his funkiest.<\/p>\n

\u2018Stone Thing Pts 1&2\u2019 was released on the Westbound label in 1970.<\/p>\n

It has a heavy groove, and at 1:36 drops down into a tasty drum break.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

So pull down the ones and zeros and cut yourself a slice of rug.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll see you all on Friday.<\/p>\n

Keep the faith<\/strong><\/p>\n
