Kevin Moby - Parade (feat. in The Good Doctor)

 Kevin Moby - Parade


might sign off with this wonderful song . . . . 

I think the one truly great thing about American TV series is that so many seem to have brilliant people choosing how to fit music around the narrative and I am thinking Netflix series I have seen Prodigal Son (with our Martin Sheen, Stranger Things and Breaking Bad but also the quiet er ones like The Good Doctor which featured this and if you get the “parade” you’ll get it!
😉

and therefore as is my won’t here’s a live version


Kevin Morby - Parade (Live on KEXP)

Butterboy says:

SOUND OF TRAFFIC

VA - Traffic Sounds (A Butterboy Compilation) (4 x CDs)

There are moments in music when everything slows down, not because the tempo drops, but because the musicians have stepped into a deeper room. A room where the air is warm, the groove breathes, and emotion becomes something you can hold in your hands. Traffic lived in that room. They didn’t visit it, they built it. And for those of us who respond to that atmosphere, that humid, analog, slow‑burn magic, their work becomes a compass. Traffic Sounds is built around that compass.

This anthology works because its emotions obey laws as real as gravity. Each Traffic anchor track creates its own emotional climate, humid groove, rhythmic fire, quiet melancholy, or bittersweet glow, and every song that follows is chosen because it naturally falls into that orbit. Nothing is forced. Nothing is stretched. The music gathers around each anchor the way warm air gathers around a flame, forming a world with its own temperature, its own atmosphere, and its own direction of movement. These songs breathe the same analog air, move with the same inward patience, and reveal themselves slowly, the way human truth always does. They are bound together not by genre, but by feel, the deep, human feel that Traffic mastered.

Across all four discs, the emotional physics remain constant, interplay instead of competition, warmth instead of sharpness, honesty instead of performance. Every track listens, leans, and lives inside the same slow‑burn universe. By allowing Traffic to appear only as the opening gravitational mass, the set creates a beautiful symmetry, Traffic defines the space, and every other artist inhabits it with respect and authenticity. The result is a seamless emotional landscape, one that feels alive, human, and quietly luminous. This is a curated environment, a place where the listener can step inside and experience the full spectrum of Traffic’s emotional gravity through the voices of many.

Seventy‑four artists, seventy‑four perspectives, all breathing the same air. Every track is a match to its anchor. Every selection carries the same emotional weight, the same sonic warmth, the same human truth. 

If you’ve lived with Traffic, you already know the room I’m talking about. If you’re new to it, this anthology is your doorway. Either way, what you hold here is a faithful exploration of that world, a set built with care, intention, and respect for the music that inspired it.

Taken together, they form a single emotional map, a complete sonic universe built around the deepest qualities of Traffic’s music. Welcome to Traffic Sounds.

Take your time. Let it unfold. Let it breathe. Let it speak. (Butterboy)
