Here we go, obscure seventies soul and funk from artists that you probably never heard of, on independent labels you didn't know existed. I'm guessing. But it's obscure enough to be have that "What the hell do we have here?" appeal.
Ruby and her ol' man are the bickering couple next door. The Harlem Underground are the stoners out on the stoop. Miss Elsie Smith? Her cover of "Watermelon Man" is an instrumental, so I have no idea what she plays. The Fabulous Counts' "Lunar Funk" is a solid jam, total seventies cop show soundtrack. Wah wah and some primitive synth. And I have no idea what "skin it back" means, but Tommy Bush seems determined to drill it into your skull.
