    Every time we started to take incoming in Vietnam me and my buddy would start singing, when the dust hits my shoes, I’ve got the urge to move. I’ll never forget that time or this song.

    Came home from Vietnam on Dec 11th 1968 and went to the local Plymouth dealer and pick up 1969 Electric Metallic Blue Plymouth Road Runner. Man! Any where was my home. I lived the life I love.

    "All my life I've been like this. If you love me, it's your own risk.When the dust hit my shoes, I've got the urge to move." Jr. Walker and Mike Terry, on the baritone sax, are killing it.

    One could argue that, as baad as Jr. Walker was on the tenor, that Mike Terry on the baritone sax made this record!! Major Props. March 1966!

    • @hasake8873
      @hasake8873 Год назад

      HDH often used a baritone sax. "This Old Heart of Mine, " My World Is Empty Without You, " etc.

      Mike Terry!!!! Baritone sax, King of the sound pyramid.

    MIX in stereo (likely genuine made in Detroit from original 3 track) is truly stunning - and the groove more intense as a result!
