The second from BBE's Americana compilation series compiled by once again by renowned crate-digger/archivists Zaf Chowdhry and Mark Taylor. sourced from the golden decades of the '60s and '70s - rootsy acoustic-sounding, all though often with a full electric band, fusing a mixture of country, rock, folk, bluegrass, R&B and blues.
Lightly jazzy instrumental funk (Luc Cousineau) jostles the deeper, heavier sounds of Lucy Stone. Southern soul stalwarts Rhodes, Chalmers and Rhodes go disco, TR’s Hot Ice fit with the punk-funk/disco-not-disco template, and Hal Bradbury and Steve Eaton can pass muster with the more discerning of collectors as ‘proper’ soul records.
