Duck Dunn! Why I started playing bass along with major inspiration from James Jamerson.
As did I brother. Dunn and Jamerson were pioneers of melodic bass lines taking over the low end rather than the far more fundamental/rudimentary root and 5th style common to country western and bluegrass. Paul McCartney mastered the melodic style and carried it forward as did John Paul Jones with Zep.
Melodic bass playing is like getting away with murder but requires a mastery of the fretboard. You provide a counterpoint melody to that being played by the rest of the band like a panther prowling in the background and pouncing at will.
Rock on brother.

It's actually unlikely that Jake and Elwood came from Cal City. Those accents indicate a distinctly Bridgeport or Canaryville Chicago neighborhood upbringing.
Later, Steve Cropper and Duck Dunn were in the Blues Brothers movie band with Paul Shaffer -- whose real job was the Letterman Late Night bandleader.
Especially if it's snowing. Like today: march 9, 2023.

this one definitely sounds like the file was encoded at a very low level, then re-encoded to meet the 192-requirement. awful sound. terrible.
This is not the original I ever heard, in sound quality or arrangement. But I'm delighted to hear it at all. It's been 52 years since this classic passed into my head. I'll take it any way Bill gets it out of my speakers.

"Time Is Tight" is an instrumental recorded by Booker T. & the M.G.'s for their soundtrack to the 1968 film UpTight.
The group recorded two versions of the song – the shorter (3:14), slower version was released as a single in 1969, and became one of the biggest hits of the group's career, peaking at #7 R&B and #6 Pop.
The longer (4:55) version (which was included on the official soundtrack album) is played at a faster tempo than the single version, and features an extended introduction and an instrumental 'breakdown' section, neither of which was included in the single version.
Oh, PS, I was right, cause now it's John Hiatt "Have a Little Faith in Me". The amazing music will not quit. Nope, it never should either.

Source file replaced with lossless master.
The song's last 10 seconds plus the quiet outro is missing, or at least your RP station ID stepped on it un-gracefully.
Heh. Wonder how Booker T feels about his tune being linked to Jake and Elwood instead of his name more directly.
He's probably crying all the way to the bank!

This sounds really sweet !
