Tunes Du Jour Celebrates National Water Quality Month

by with No Comment Uncategorized

August is National Water Quality Month, founded in 2005 by the Environmental Protection Agency. Per their official website, “National Water Quality Month is dedicated to making the most of the relatively small amount of fresh water we have, because having clean water is vital to our individual health, our collective agricultural needs, and the needs of our environment.”

To aid in your celebrations, below is a playlist of 30 quality songs that have the word “water” somewhere in the title.

The Spencer Davis Group were under pressure from their manager, Chris Blackwell, to come up with a hit single. He put them in a studio. By around 11:30 AM they had a riff. By noon the song was written and the band headed to a café down the road for lunch. Blackwell was livid when he found them eating rather than working on their new record. His anger subsided when the song, “Gimme Some Lovin,” recorded in just one or two takes, became a worldwide smash. It is now considered a rock n roll classic.

The late Spencer Davis was born on this date in 1939. A couple of the Group’s tracks are included on today’s playlist.
