Convoy : Nobody Knows Me in this Big Windy Town - a podcast by 23 Minutes of Ska

With all of the craziness surrounding the global COVID-19 pandemic, I've found myself listening to a lot more ska. It's hard to put my finger on why, but I'd liken it to my favorite type of comfort food: not only is it good for the soul but it provides a bit of certainty in these uncertain times. To that end, I picked out a few upbeat tunes that I'm hoping will help provide at least a small distraction. Stay safe out there, and keep washing your hands!

00:00 - the KING LION - Skatman (Blank '19)
03:06 - the Kubricks - Criminals (Criminals '20)
05:51 - Roland Alphonso w/ the Skatalites feat. Don Drummond - Nimble Foot (Nimble Foot / Love is Stronger '65)
08:53 - the Radiation Kings - Murder (Early Years '99)
13:19 - Deal's Gone Bad - Be Mine Tonight (Guide to Boat Drinks & Cruise Cocktails '02)
17:19 - North East Ska Jazz Orchestra - Hard Man fe Dead (Stompin' & Rollin' '15)
20:55 - the Operators - 6 Month Blues (Ain't it Obvious / 6 Month Blues '19)

RJ sez: Jim is one half of the very excellent Windy City Sound System, which you should totally have checked out by now! Building on Jim's picks, I added the new single from the Kubricks and the closing track from the Operators. I had the pleasure of meeting Jim and his WCSS co-star at the Jump Up Records 25th Anniversary show a few years back, and I couldn’t be happier then, and I couldn’t be happier now that they’re still in the game creating their show! Give it up for the Windy City Sound System!
