For me, you can't beat Wave of War by Joe Higgs (the original Sioux label 45) because it gives strength and courage and energises the defeated. It has a rhythm that reaches your soul - notice at the end Higgs throws up the rhythm ("and he's my soul and my salvation all day long ...") like a pack of cards and they all land face up in perfect order (to use an analogy). This tune has seen me through my darkest days for over 40 years now. The man is a true genius - thank you Joe.
