You might know Jonathan Richman as the lyrical powerhouse and front-man of The Modern Lovers. Most people haven't heard his solo work, or better yet, his instrumentals.
I've wrangled up three of his finest tracks without lyrics, for your listening pleasure. We also threw in a Basement Jaxx bit that samples Richman's "Egyptian Reggae," turning his acoustic guitar riffs into a quirky dance track.

oh man.... I have been looking for the 'South American Folk Song' for ages... ages. I have anohter version of it off '¡Jonathan, te vas a emocionar!' - but this version is the one I was looking for. My father used to have it on vinyl, and I just loved how raw and weird it was.
Again. Thank you!

I just put this together yesterday. I had Egyptian Reggae in my head and then suddenly realized why I like Mere Pass sOOO much. What does JR think of this?
