"My 3 Songs" for Wednesday

Posted at 12:43 PM on June 25, 2008 by Steve Seel

Josh Amann doesn't offer any explanation for his set today ... but no matter. There's something summery and celebratory to the mix that speaks for itself.

1) Solid Gold, "Bible Thumper"
2) Marvin Gaye, "Got To Give It Up"
3) Peter Tosh, "Ketchy Shuby"

Plus, "Got To Give It Up" is easily the longest tune we've ever featured on My Three Songs, clocking in at 11:54. Nice one, Josh!
