FabSwingers.com forum: Mixtape #3

By (user no longer on site) OP
over a year ago

Curveball and I had a great time listening to your fab suggestions for an eclectic music mix.

Highlights for me were Louise and the Pins, Gin Wigmore, Chip Taylor and Feargal Sharkey of all people.

Time for some more tunes now. Hit us with your recommendations old and new, obscure or mainstream. There's no rules. No genres, no boundaries. Post the Artist and title and a youtube link please.

I'll begin with this song that starts out as a country pop song and ends like a 90s grunge track.

Instant Street by Deus
