Never thought that I would listen to something new by Michael McDonald or Kenny Loggins. Both were living legends of west-coast sound of the early 70's. While McDonald got popular as the lead vocals of the Doobie Brothers, Kenny Loggins made some good records Jim Messina. It already required to the abilities from Thundercat to get both great voices on one song. Thundercat is the stage name of Stephen Bruner an American bass player and producer. He's at home in different genres and played with Suicidal Tendencies and Flying Lotus as well. I don't know if this is representative for his work but this song is so much in the tradition of late Steely Dan and others that it is simply a pleasure to listen to it.

First visit to your blog! Thanks for sharing this new one, I liked it. Remember I enjoyed Michael McDonald's guest appearance on Some Children w/ Holy Ghost! (2011) and Safri Duo's 2002 remix of Sweet Freedom was fun. I should look up his Doobie Brothers records from the 70s when I have the time.
