Track 7 - Pamela Davis - You Make Me Feel Special - This track starts off with a funky groove that really got my attention . The vocals are good , but , for me , what makes this song is that I can easily imagine a young band cutting their teeth on this track . The music is fairly simple yet when all of the pieces come together the end result is a really good jam . I think the most difficult part of this song for any young band would be getting the vocals right . Nevertheless , I love songs like this because they are simply pure rock and roll . ( I even dig the little out take at the end .)
Track 8 - The Forty Nineteens - I ' m Free - First off , I dig the Forty Nineteens . If you have not heard their version of Frosty the Snowman , I strongly recommend you give it a listen . LISTEN to this song ! This is one of the best , garage / rock songs I have heard . Man , the guitar is just outrageously intense . I swear I hear some old R & B keyboards way in the back . The singer has such an intense , emotion-filled voice with which he proclaims his joy at having recently been released from a less than desirable situation ; I just can ’ t help but smile and wish him well .
