Love this track every time you play it! A couple questions for the masses:

1. Does that beat have a name, like more than two-feel shuffle or something? Also reference "King Cotton" by Lloyd Lambert.
2. Anyone have an etymology for "raise some sand?"
Avatar 🌮 Swag For Life Member 1:50pm
AMYGDALA:

↳ David L. @1:48
Fro mthe interweb...

2.) "Raise some sand" is a slang expression meaning to create a disturbance or make a fuss. It's similar to the phrase "raise Cain" and implies a strong, angry reaction or argument. The phrase is also the title of a Grammy Award-winning album by Robert Plant and Alison Krauss

Shameless copying and puh-pasting:

1.) A "two-feel shuffle" in music refers to a rhythmic feel where the beat is divided into two main pulses, often associated with blues and rock 'n' roll. It's characterized by a drum pattern that emphasizes the first and third beats of each measure, creating a syncopated, "shuffle" sound. This is achieved by playing the first and third notes of a triplet, creating a "ta, silence, ta" rhythm.

It's more like the popcorn feel of it, you know? Like someone's doing a tap tap-a-tap on a bongo or something. Not even really a shuffle at all, bass plays a two-beat and then there's the over-accentuated swing figure on top. Feel like it's gotta have a name...
