Dixie Nightingales " All I Need is Some Sunshine in My Life" (Chalice unreleased)

Love this, it's on one o' them X,000 Volts of Stax things I have, no doubt partially 'cause I been there, felt that...

Your`re right, this one is from the "3000 Volts of Stax" compilation and there is another great alternative take featured on V.A "Don`t disturb my Soul - Gospel of Chalice" (Ace) released in1991.....and agreed, this recording never fails to move me....a close second from the same source IMO is "Assassination"...

The Evans/King version of "I Can't Win" from Ry Cooder's Bop Til You Drop has been known to have a similar effect on me.

Aretha Franklin "I Never Loved A Man (The Way I Love You)" from the eponymous album released in 1967

I always loved this quote from Evan Eisenberg's The Recording Angel, a book I reread every few years. Eisenberg says that Jerry Wexler, "took Aretha Franklin from hapless Columbia, set her down in a Muscle Shoals studio, and tossed her 'I Never Loved a Man (The Way I Love You)' as one tosses a lighted match at petroleum."

From Charlie Haden's Montreal Tapes, with Paul Bley & Paul Motian (1989).

Bley's clarion call release (3:08-3:15) after a wicked crescendo (from 2:38) makes me wanna shout for joy every time.

Chuck Guillory, Pauvre Hobo (Poor Hobo)

http://www.npmusic.org/ChuckGuillory_Poor_Hobo.mp3

"Chuck Guillory, who alternates working as a merchant seaman and roughneck (oil-field worker), is thought of as the best fiddler in the region. He used to lead his own French string band (fiddle, guitar, steel guitar, piano, and drums) which played hill-billy and Cajun music in dance halls and nightclubs. His style is basically country-and-western, much like the fiddling on Nashville's Grand Ole Opry." notes from Harry Oster's field recording, late 1950s, Folksongs of the Louisiana Acadians.

I love this French music standard and have many versions of it, but THIS is probably the most joyous one ever! Mike Doucet of Beausoleil provides the energetic mandolin solo, and brother David the guitar solo. Second fiddler Gervis Stanford on spirited shouts, Preston Manuel on vocal pretty close to the original lyrics by the Breaux Brothers.
