We're makin' the joints with the hippest cats in town. Bar-room philosophers Mr. Bear, Dr. Horse and Champion Jack Dupree are our companions on an all night booze-a-thon. They're up for it - just hear the rockin' vibes on "Mr. Bear Comes To Town." But soon the booze takes hold and our buddies are waxing philosophical about their troubled relationships with their women.
And then we find The Clovers slumped over a bar counter bewailing the consequences of an unwise mint julep but our fellow revellers laugh that off and soon we're in better company as The Du Droppers urge us to keep imbibing as the night wears on.
It's all over, surely, 'cos here's the King Kolax band wailing on an after hours sax instro as we make our way along the deserted streets as dawn begins to break. But Champion Jack and Mr. Bear have other ideas ... may the Lord have mercy on our poor lost souls.
Pardon the distortion, clicks and pops from our less than mint vinyl. Who cares? Whose round is it? Show me the way to the next whiskey bar. We're stumblin' in the neon groves.

Very cool post brother! Thanks!
Cheers Soulpapa. Cool name. I lived through this post this afternoon. Not sure how I got home ...
Listening right now and it sounds great! Takes ya right back to the day. Glad you got home anyway!
Luckily I put the comp together last night, otherwise it wouldn't have been posted tonight. We're all on a voyage au bout de la nuit ... while looking back to the day, which fades away. Glad you're liking the sounds.

exactly what I come here for; thank you,sir!
I'm 7 songs into this comp and loving it.
you should use clyp.it to make song samplers, it's fast/easy/no membership. you might like it?
Thanks noahdjango. Basically the comp is an excuse to bring together all my Mr Bear and Dr Horse tracks! I think it works. Oh and thanks for the tip. I'll investigate clyp.it.
