Peter Gabriel vs. Derek Trucks
Lovetown/Volunteered Slavery (Musicina Blender mashup)
I was wallowing for a while with a bunch of song combinations that just didn’t seem to come together. It was nice to finally stumble into these two songs, which click together really well (for reasons all its own). Once I began the mix, I fell way deep into the rabbit hole.
This cool Peter Gabriel tune was initially released on the soundtrack of Jonathan Demme’s Philadelphia. Volunteered Slavery was written and first recorded by the legendary Rahsaan Roland Kirk. You can find the Derek Trucks Band version on their brilliant Songlines disc.
