Here Comes Your Man - A Tavern Mix

I'm back to making mixes for my brother's bar although it's hard to do from almost 300 miles away. I talked to some of his bartenders recently about the music they liked and wanted to hear while working. I also looked through the collection of CDs behind the bar. It's a small city bar and they don't want to take up valuable space with a jukebox and they just very recently added a kitchen so they don't want to spend money on a fancy music service and sound system. So I'll try to help out. Each of the upcoming mixes will be around an hour long and focus on a theme whether a time period, a musical style, etc. My house party soul music mix from last week is a good example of something they will like at the bar. This mix is a collection of late 80s and 90s alternative rock. Lots of familiar stuff which is what those bartenders like and they won't grab a mix off the shelf if they don't like it themselves.
