The Hook And Sling Presents All Good Things Come In 3’s
Posted by thehookandsling on July 16th, 2008
A huge thank you to all those made it down to The Brown Sugar Bar on Saturday, It was great to see some familiar faces returning for our little funk and soul shindigg, and as always a great time was had by all!
As promised we’re back with another joint collaboration from all three of us, recorded straight from our play out boxes from Saturday. They say all good thing’s come in 3’s and today’s mix is no exception as we’ve included some stone cold rarities as well as some up front breaks and beats for your listening pleasure within this one. Enjoy and we’ll be back here later in the week with more of the ‘good stuff’ for you.

Amazing selection here! It’s so nice to finally hear the flip side of “Give a Damn”, and that Bobo Mr. Soul track is a stunner. The voiceover on “Brothers Under Pressure” has gotta be JB himself!

Would love to know the line up on The Progressors track and just how much input Brown had on that track if anyone can shed any light??
