Free Music Notes for Jamaica to Toronto: Soul Funk and Reggae 1967-1974
Free Music Review: Fantastic music !!
Hit: 5 Stars
The other two reviews posted pretty much nail it, so I won't repeat. I will just emphasize how great this music is. The musicianship is very superb. I was expecting some rough gems, historic curios -- but though these cuts are raw 'n funky, the licks are totally solid. This CD is a lost chapter of soul and R&B, hot wax that holds its own against the best funky stuff from that era from ANYWHERE. Plus it's an intriguing chapter in the reggae story, although except for one token cut the Jamaica aspect is just touches here and there -- literal accents.
One other point to note is this is the best CD packaging of the year! It looks good, feels good, and is weighty as a vinyl album. The booklet could almost be sold separately. For what they are charging consider this incredible groove collection a MUST BUY !!
And if you are from Toronto - - what are you waiting for?!? This will give you enuf pride to make up for a lifetime of Leaf losses!
