Not a track as such but I always loved it when Weatherall played that Jesse Jackson speech from the Aretha Franklin album.

“I know it’s dark, but the morning comes…”

& thanks for reminding me of that Maceo track, I used to love that album

Fk finished with a beautiful maya angelou poem at spiritland not long back. Was a really lovely way to finish a night.

I had a tape of Weatherall playing Jesse Jackson over an amazing piano tune in 90/91ish.

Took me 20 years to find out what it was.

Its been a secret weapon of mine for while, but fuck it, here you go…
