Dennis Coffey and the Detroit Guitar Band - Scorpio

Dennis Coffey was one of the "Funk Brothers", that is, part of the legendary group who made up the musicians who did the backing for Motown Records. So you've probably heard him many times before, but this is his own strange, funky brew.

The Four Tops - Just Walk Away Renee

I first heard this terrific tune watching a documentary about Belgium.

I immediately resolved two things:

a) to buy this track
b) visit Belgium

I can confirm that Belgium is definitely worth a look, and they do play Motown as well as Led Zeppelin, together with weeny beers that blow your senses to Outer Mongolia.

It's also one of the most surreal places you can visit. Never mind Barcelona, visit Brussels. Everytime I leave my head reels.
