Lambchop - Up with People

An old favourite this. There's a warmth to it I find irresistible. Just from the start the guitar and the hand claps compliment the relaxed nature of Kurt Wagner's voice wonderfully to make you think everything is gonna be all right. I suspect there's quite a lot to be said about how Wagner fuses together soul and country styles. However time is short so instead I'll just luxuriate in a truly wonderful piece of music. This is also a pretty interesting video as well, using old footage of old tricky Dick Nixon. He's got an expression on his face at 1.14, that on any other human being I'd assume had been digitally manipulated, but with Nixon you can never be sure.
