Product Description
Bgp Returns with a Foray Into the Unique and Funky Sounds that Emanated from Louisiana from the Late 60s Through to the Early 70s. The State Has Its Own Original Take on Black Music Influenced by New Orleans and Tinged with the Flavour of the Area's Creole Culture, which for a Large Part is Separate and Self-sufficient from the Mainstream of American Life; This Makes Many of These Not Only Highly Desirable, but Impossible to Find. As Ever with a Bgp Compilation We have Unearthed Some Stone Rarities and Dancefloor Winners. The Super-rare 'one Day' by Tabby Thomas, that Sells for Nearly a $1000 on the Infrequent Occasions When it Comes Up for Sale, is One of Funk's Holy Grails, and the Low-down and Dirty 'i Got a Groove' by Jj Caillier also Rarely Surfaces. Katie Webster's 'hell Or High Water' is a Fine Example of "Sister Funk" that Would Rock Any Dancefloor.

Keeps on gettin' hot-ter.......2005-08-31

Study of Louisianna's musical past typically revolves around New Orleans. BGP's most recent comp, "Southern Funkin'," avoids Nawlins-cetricity by collecting lost funk and soul gems from the rest of Louisianna. With its large African-American population and considerable number of indepedent record labels, Louisianna was a force in soul music. This collection offers remarkable local flavor--especially the strong dose of bayou. Instead of James Brown knockoff after James Brown knockoff, this collection has a sense of dynamics absent from most regional collections. While Louisianna isn't quite the collector's fav region (like Texas or other areas), "Southern Funkin" serves up a generous portion of funk and grooves. Highlights: "Black Water Gold" by African Music Machine and "Put it On" by "Count" Rockin' Sidney with The Dukes.

Highly recommended!
