V.A.-Crash Of Thunder-Boss Soul,Funk R&B King,Federal,Deluxe-NEW CD

Crash Of Thunder --

Boss Soul, Funk And R&B Sides From The Vaults Of The King, Federal & Deluxe Labels

NEW CD IN DIGIPACK

20 tracks

A mighty dip into the legendary vaults of King Records -- and one that manages to come up with a motherlode of funky grooves, even though none of them feature James Brown! The package is an essential look at the hinterland of King -- artists who mostly just cut singles for the label in the 60s and early 70s, but who managed to match the groove of some of the bigger talents who charted more successfully for the company. There's plenty of gritty, funky cuts on the set -- some done as soul numbers with a funky undercurrent on the bottom -- others done as heavy funk cuts with a few nice soul touches on the vocals! The set was hand-picked by Mr Finewine -- well known for his genius on the Vital Organs collection -- and tracks include

"Peter Rabbit" and "Which Way" by The Presidents,

"Soul Jerk It Baby" by Jeb Stuart,

"How Do You Feel" by Peggy & Artie,
