Radar's Re-edits #1 Warren Zevon "Nighttime In The Switching Yard"

Here's the first in an occasional series of re-edits, some soul stuff, some less obvious I guess...like this.

First up is an unlikely dancefloor hero: bespectacled singer-songwriter, satirist and general misanthrope Warren Zevon. This is from his “Excitable Boy” album – an amazing record that nonetheless gives no clue he's capable of this kind of groove. Anyway, I hope you enjoy...link below

The Soul Affair 9th january 2011

Sadly there's no recording of this one (if you want professional standards, pay me). A shame, as it was a really good show, if I do say so myself. And let's face it, there's not many others lining up to say it.
