Lucky Mojo : This song (“Hoodoo Lady Blues”) is unique for using the word “hoodoo” in all three of its meanings: as a noun (a practitioner), an adjective (defining an amulet or spell), and a verb (to cast a spell).

Amazon : The open fifths left accompanying the devastating final chords of Bill Evan’s “Lucky to Be Me,” are almost spiritual in their nakedness.

Wilson & Alroy’s : Come to think of it, Veloso might be making fun of “If It’s Magic”. hile he’s at it. Who does he think he is, making fun of Stevie? Screw you, Caetano Veloso! Unless he’s not, in which case I take it back. Jeez, this is confusing.

Mauro Boscarol : After Nina Simone covered “I Put A Spell On You”, Jay wrote “Poor Folks”/”Your Kind Of Love” for her in 1965. She refused to record them, and Jay was left to do so himself in typically macabre fashion.
