SOUTHWIND - "Ready To Ride" (1970)

 

The song I have for you tonight is from this 1970 album titled "Ready To Ride" by a band called Southwind who originally hailed from Oklahoma.

I liked this song from the first time I heard it because of it's infectious energy. It's just plain fun, and part of the reason is that it was recorded 'live' which always adds an element of spontaneity.

 

The way I was introduced to Southwind was via this sampler album from the Blue Thumb label called "All Day Thumb Sucker" which besides Southwind had an amazing array of talent on it ranging from T Rex, and Ike and Tina Turner, to Love, Albert Collins, and Earl Hooker.

So why waste your time telling you about it, here's Southwind, just listen and get ready to have a good time!
