Please keep treating each other right in these crazy times, and give back to each other and our community in the Music in the Canyon mindset.
Thanks for your understanding...

Here's some music from the amazing John Batdorf, who will be playing at our show next Wednesday, 8/18 at 5:30. He is the real deal. This is from long ago and far away:)

This was off the first album, "Off The Shelf" and became and instant "turntable hit" for us and but Batdorf and Rodney on the map. B Mitchell Reed, a progressive DJ here in LA worked for KRLA AM played this like crazy as did DJs all over the country. This was cut in Muscle Shoals Sound in 1971 with Roger Hawkins on drums, Barry Beckett on keys and David Hood on the bass. This album was produced by Atlantic Records President Ahmet Ertegun. This cut was the first and only take we did.
