    The Salem Travelers Tell It Like It Is / Give Me Liberty Or Death

    Deptford Northern Soul Club Records
    • The Salem Travelers – Give Me Liberty Or Death
    • The Salem Travelers – Tell It Like It Is
    • 1. Give Me Liberty Or Death
    • 2. Tell It Like It Is

    Both tracks are a unique funky take on gospel. ‘Tell It Like It Is’ is filled with wah wah guitar chops and some excellent lead breaks that spice up the conga-adorned upbeat; a heady song grasping for the truth.

    ‘Give Me Liberty Or Death’ is slightly slower, with a Motown-styled backbeat behind a fist pumping anthem that reels in its churchy roots and some great vocal interplay, a message song filled with emotion.

    Two fantastic tunes from a transient ever-changing group who, in the 1960s and 1970s, were known for soulful harmonies, glass-shattering lead singing.
