The definitive survey of Americas independent 70s soul scene, and a companion piece to Now-Agains long-running Soul Cal series. (Soul Cal) captures the retro-utopian vision of a past where every smalltown record store or garage in the US might have hidden a virtuosic funk outfit; the thrill of knowing that jobbing musicians might be getting paid for the first time; plus the bittersweet knowledge that those that passed on are getting deserved recognition. And all that before you get the thrill of the music itself. – Wire Magazine.
