A very weird and wild album from Ricardo 'Ritchie' Ray - sort of a mix of Latin soul styles in the mode of work by Mongo Santamaria, but a lot more messed up! The album's got a number of 60s soul covers, but they're done here in a kind of party Latin mode, touched with a bit of garage soul vocals, in a way that makes the whole album quite upbeat and playful throughout!
