since we both geeked out over the trailer/concept for be kind, rewind last week i’ve been loop-de-looping the billy preston track which plays over the second half of the trailer -in my experience sometimes the only way to exorcise a niggling hook like that is to share it.

so here goes.

the thing is the more i listen, the more i love that rumbling bass, classic brass section and shuffling percussion, the barely there banjo line and honky tonk piano break. despite some ropey lyrics and my ambivalence towards preston himself i just love this track in all it’s am-radio, late-night dance show glory, and not only that, but its making me want to dig out a whole section of my music i’ve not spent any time with for years - which, i suppose is sort of getting something from nothing from nothing…

billy preston - nothin from nothin
