Searching for Soul? You
just hit the jackpot in this killer set that's filled with
Michigan-recorded gems that go way beyond the shadows of Motown!
The
sound here is madly tripped out throughout. A blend of funky 45 rhythms
with more interesting influences from the spreading sprawl of the
Michigan soul underground of the 60s and 70s. Groups who recorded not
just in Detroit, but also other cities that were taking the motor city
groove and turning it on in whole new ways.
Overall,
there's an approach here that reminds us of Westbound Funk at its best.
A blend of psychedelic influences, jazz phrasing, and deeper soul that
echo nicely together in most of the collection's tracks. Filled with
great tunes we'd never heard before.
