CD Reviews

Must for Rare Groove Collectors... Early '70s Funk Gem

Eddie Landsberg | Tokyo, Japan | 06/14/2000

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I first picked this one up in Japan. So Much Trouble In My Mind hooked me right away. Years earlier I heard Charles Kynard do an incredibly funky Hammond B-3 organ version of it. - - This is early '70s James Brown copycat funk but done good. If you like Rufus Thomas, Dyke and The Blazers, The Jimmy Caster Bunch and Joe Tex... this is for you. Horn and Rhythm guitar "down home" funk. - - There aren't any audio samples up at the time of this writing for this compilation, however, his classics album has most of the same songs if you'd like to venture a listen. - - I'd definitely put this in the must have category. Check out The JBs, Black Nasty and Cold Blood as well and get yourself a good edu-funk'a'cation."
