Alabama Shakes: “I Found You”. Can’t believe that they’re unsigned. If I had a label, I’d sign ’em.

Texas Tornados: “Mendocino”. Doug Sahm, Freddy Fender, Augie Meyers and Flaco Jimenez. My kind of supergroup.

The Mar-Keys: “Last Night”. The Stax/Volt band before Booker T & the MGs. Both Duck Dunn and Steve Cropper cut their teeth here.
