Sometimes it just has to be that Big Band sound of the 40's, other times some back in the alley Delta blues, others times give me some shit kicker music, Roy Acuff always works. Gil Scott Heron? Lee Dorsey? J.B.Hutto? Rosie and the Originals? Maurice Williams and the Zodias? Question Mark and the Mysterians? How about Baby Washington?
After they were done they drive your vehicle over to a pick up spot...

See, for me, yard work is classic rock. Working on my car? Classic rock. Maybe it's a nostalgia thing, but when im working under the sun it takes me back to my childhood working with dad, blasting some Rush or Steve Miller Band. [Reply]

Many times it's just there, not really paying all that much attention.
Then there is...
Light some candles, some incense, mix a drink, pick something to fit the mood, put on the head phones and crawl right into them speakers, deep deep listen. [Reply]
Mississippi Fred McDowell and Mance Lipscomb along with Williams could have recorded back in the prewar days but didn't for some reason, they were all old before we ever head them on record. [Reply]
In the 80's when I owned a record store near Savannah, there was one album I could play and guarantee someone would buy a copy everytime. In fact, before putting it on, I would always go over to the bins and make sure I had at least 2 or 3 copies in stock. This album was jazz fusion and was a double record and listed for $15.98, hefty price at the time.
It was Pat Metheny Travels, a 1983 release recorded live on tour in 1982. I had a killer sound system in the store that was 20' wide and 80' deep with a huge speakers in each corner. To make the sound reach and blend in the center of the store I had to turn it fairly loud. Everytime I put this record on, at least a half dozen people would ask, who is that? As I said, 2 or 3 would buy a copy. I would call this mood music, whatever mood you were in, your mind would be taken somewhere else.
