V/A Wheedle's Groove: Seattle's Finest in Funk & Soul, 1965-75
Light In The Attic
"4 Stars"
What is it?
The album's tagline says it all: "Seattle's finest in funk & soul 1965-75." Yes, there was a vital groove scene in the woodsy Northwest all those years ago. Extensive liner notes tell a riveting tale.
Who's on it?
Should-have-been-contenders Black on White Affair, brassy big band Cookin' Bag and the mysterious Soul Swingers are among the classic acts here. Ron Buford's "Deep Soul Pt. 1" kicks like prime James Brown.
Any good?
These rarest of grooves showcase a cavalcade of top-notch beats to dig. Light In The Attic scores again with this exhaustively rendered collection of long-lost Americana. Stones Throw North, anyone?
