Oh, it’s YOUR ipod...not so brilliant after all...
Here is a great playlist that begins in African roots and Jazz and travels through cover songs, the Blues, Jazz, Soul, Fusion, Acoustic music and even the gospel of New Orleans in just 15 tracks. I pressed shuffle, and this is what came out!
Imagine it were 20?
