The Hot Spot: Various Artists - 1990, Jack Nitzsche

A soundtrack that's composed and produced by Jack Nitzsche and featuring John Lee Hooker, Miles Davis, Taj Mahal amongst others, now that's what I call cool!

Amazon review..."Contempary music that fits well in the with long summer days as the human drama the unfolds before the eyes. The vocals, by John Lee Hooker, give a painful objurgation at human nature. The cool/blue horn of Miles Davis gives a solitary notion of a individual human struggling with his passion and greed. Add Roy Rogers and Taj Mahal guitars' accretions too this poignancy, you have a melancholy that is aggraviting existence."
