1. Gonna Ball Tonight- silvertone rips into it and sets the tone on this disc

7. Bring Me The Bottle- jazzy number about, well, working on a buzz, nice horns
8. She Knocks Me Out- tune about someone’s gal, a little slow and soft
9. Last Week’s Blues- soulful, R&B jam with great organ work and horns

11. Swingin’ At Lesters- jump starting, pumpin’ and thumpin’ big band sounds
