Southern Funkin’ – Louisianna Funk and Soul 1967 – 1979 [coll] – [BGP Records Ltd.]

Cousin Mary   8/21/2011   12-inch, Soul

This 2-LP set contains 45’s recorded by Louisiana funk and soul artists from 1967-1979. Most sound like they have been strongly influenced by popular artists of the time, many of them by James Brown. A bit of Creole influence from Louisiana can be heard, but is not that strong. The vocals and instrumentals and recording quality are pretty good. Funky beats to make you start dancing.

PGM: side 1/track 3 and side 4/track 2 are all instrumental. My picks: Side 1/track 5, Side 2/track 4, Side 3/track 5, and side 4/track 5.
