This week in the Shack

Little bit of a late update this week. Allergies came down on me like a ton of bricks Monday, and as a result I've been pretty lethargic. The next couple of sets will probably stay up for a little longer than usual, too due to work obligations and my upcoming vacation.

It's been cold, grey, and rainy for the last couple of days, which always puts me in the mood for southern soul. This week's set is a nice big helping, leavened with the occasional modern track. As always, I hope you dig it.
