This EP, available on cdbaby and itunes by the end of October, 2013, has been written by Soul & Funk lovers, who missed the Golden Age of 70s music, when so many timeless songs were written by wonderful artists.

Our inspiration came from Stevie Wonder, Curtis Mayfield, Al Green, Isaac Hayes, Rolling Stones, Herbie Hancock, James Brown, John Lennon, Sly & The Family Stone, Little Richard, Muddy Waters, Marvin Gaye and so many others.

Funk lovers will enjoy the booty shakin' groove of Cream#9, James Brown's fans will probably enjoy Alana Bridgewater and Ron Littlejohn's performance on 'Light me up', and.... we'll let you discover the rest by yourselves.

Some decent tracks on that EP, on first hearing my fave has to be "A Day In SanFran" ......

.... an extract from the track was put up on YouTube a good while back .........

Some very nice jazzy tones and instrumentation on some of the tracks, muted trumpet, flute etc that I love, but I find the drum sound a bit too heavy and hard and the vocals straying a bit close to Terence Trent Darby territory for my liking. I do really rate the 'Soul Devotion' track though and I like the vibe of 'San Francisco'. Generally it's just a bit heavy and clunky for me.
