do you like funky soul music? Buy this. Absolute class. I'm not a huge fan of complilations, but the soul jazz efforts are always essential. A wide range of music too from Eddie Bo's unbelievably funky "Thang" to Irma Thomas' sweet soul "Ruler of my heart".

I've invested in quite a few funk collections over the past couple of years and the one problem I encounter is the consistency of the tracks on albums.
This album is great......for four songs. "Pass the Hatchet" is a great opening track and followed by "Mean Man" you think you're in for a treat. But then along comes "Iko, Iko" which sounds like it belongs more in a skipping game than on a funk collection. The next few tracks pass you by without ever grabbing your attention. Things take a decidely dodgy turn for the worse at "Little Liza Jane", before recovering slightly with the upbeat "Break in Every Road" and the sleazy "Dr. Jones". "Cold Bear" sounds like a tune from Sesame Street and the remainder of album fades away ... Read More:

If they had a taste for the grandiose , the compilers at Souljazz records could have titled their latest retrospective 'The Secret History of Funk'. Such is the persuasive argument put forth, asserted in every bass and horn line, and underlined by every insistent drum pattern in this compilation of the rich musical soup of 60's New Orleans.
Take Inell Young's fine teen ballad'The Next Ball Game' that sounds like somebody let the Godfather's own Funky Drummer, Clyde Stubblefield double-time the beat. Of course, New Orleans had its own grand collection of players from the legendary Smokey Johnson to 'Zigaboo' Modeliste of Al Neville's Meters.
Often ignored in comparison to the session man splendour of the Tamla / Muscle ... Read More:

soul jazz have done it again with another fine compilation of new orleans classics. Like the first volume there is a healthy blend of known and easily accessable tracks to some that collectors will sell their own mothers for! Filled with classic breaks on tracks such as we're doing it- eddie bo and give it up- lee dorsey (with the meters as the backing band!)Saturday night fish fry is a true must for any self respecting soul/funk fan- a well deserved 5 stars

Funk is a passion of mine, and to find a cd containing such a range of the finest funk-stars is a god send. Soul jazz records have kept their unbeatable quality and style in this sequel cd. It is filled with raw, infectious and downright dirty New Orleans grooves (that wouldn't be out of place in a Tarantino movie) to keep you amused for the duration. New Orleans finest are all present The Meters, Dr John, Lee Dorsey and more. I find these compilations on the Soul Jazz records a refreshing change. They range from Reggae to New York latino to Philadelphia roots to of course New Orleans Jazz funk. So do it baby and in the words of the great Lee Dorsey "help the brother get funked".
