"Rainy Day Horns" is the title to a mix I made from songs that were recorded in the 60s and 70s (One track is from 2007). I have seen a few of these songs referred to as early disco. Mainly, the mix consists of R & B from back in the day. You might say that it is predominantly soul music. I am not an expert in this field of music, but I do enjoy music that displays such great passion and emotion. In any case, I have great admiration for these songs. I love the way guitar is used to accentuate the beat, and I love to let my mind ride the notes of the horns. Here are true grooves, true rhythm, true heart, true soul...this music is fun.
Two tracks played during the broadcast were from my friend's iPod. I am not quite sure of the song names, but I can tell you that Lauryn Hill and Ray Charles were played.
