August/September 2017 review thread

Track one is an upbeat pop/punk song (I’m guessing 90’s or later from a faint 3rd wave ska influence), with female vocals in Spanish. I like this one a lot and need to know who it is. Now!
Track two is a pretty dream-pop number with pleasant female harmony vocals. No idea who this is.
Track three is an upbeat Latin/Gypsy hybrid thing, kind of like the sort of thing Mano Negra used to do.
Track four is Santana live from the early/mid 70's, playing a song I'm more familiar with from the studio version, though I'm not sure of the title.
Track five is another good pop-punk song with a female lead vocal. The vocalist sounds very familiar but I can't quite place who it is.
Track six is an 80's sounding techno pop number. I don't recognize this one either.
Track seven is a modern country song by a female vocalist. Pleasant enough, if not generally the sort of thing I would listen to on my own.
Track eight is a real killer, stylistically in that nether region between punk and old school hard rock like, say, The Runaways. This one also features a female vocalist. I’d be interested in hearing more can’t quite place her.
Track nine is “The Sky is Crying” by Elmore James.
Track ten is another unknown upbeat punk rock number with a female lead vocal.
Track eleven is “Postcard” by Shocking Blue, well known to me already.
Track twelve is an upbeat quirky pop/rock song played by some very capable sounding musicians. I’ve no idea who this is by, but I’m very curious now.
Track thirteen sounds like a 60’s nugget, a somewhat moody, organ-driven number. I can’t place this one, either.
Track fourteen is The Kinks playing “Victoria” live. I know this one is from their ‘One for the Road’ album, because I own it!
Track fifteen is a performance of the “Peter Gunn Theme” by a flamboyant guitarist. The recording sounds like it dates from the 80’s or later. Fun!
Track sixteen is a long jazz-proggy thing that sounds a lot like ’73-’74 era King Crimson, except for the use of electric piano. I’m going to guess this one is UK.
Overall, a very shrewdly assembled mix, with several artists I’m sure I will want to hear more in the future. I also got a bonus mix of obscure rockabilly that I’m listening to and enjoying as I post this. Cheers, mix-maker.
