A great, let-it-snow-all-it-wants-to record

Lou Donaldson's "Midnight Creeper" is one of those records that I hear and I think: Why don't I listen to this record more often?
Donaldson, an alto saxophone player, teams with people like Dr. Lonnie Smith on organ and George Benson on guitar to produce a great, soul-jazz sound.
In fact, I would recommend this record to people who say they "don't like jazz."
I tend to find that these people say they don't like jazz because they simply haven't found a variety they enjoy hearing.
As an April snowstorm threatens to smother us today, I will at least be able to enjoy Donaldson's 1968 masterpiece. I'll probably listen to it on the iPod as I shovel snow tonight.
