Note: Please forgive the slightly incorrect track listing on Mixcloud. It was required to get this mix out of Mixcloud jail. They didn’t want to offer a license for the mix because… wait for it… there were too many Gene McDaniels tunes on it. Seriously. The irony of this is not lost on me in the least.)
