|P| Dottie Peoples - I Believe In You
This version of Bob Dylan's "I Believe In You" is from the award-winning documentary "Gotta Serve Somebody - The Gospel Songs of Bob Dylan". Among some other outstanding moments of this spiritual journey, this song, performed by gospel great Dottie Peoples, is the highlight of Dylan's crusade. It's gonna make you rattle n' shake, pray and clap even in your own cathedral.

|S| Spooky Tooth
Spooky Tooth lays down their music with such a sincerity and soulfulness that it gives me goosebumps every time I put them on. When I found my dad's vinyl collection in an old closet in the back of my Uncle's garage this LP was probably my biggest finding. Among all the greats and the forgotten Spooky Tooth sticks out with their British roots-rock, stirred together with heavy blues stuff and a bit of outer-space... just good music.
These two takes are from their 1969 quintessential album Spooky Two.
