TRACKLIST
01) (02:34) Hold On Me
02) (03:06) This Love Ain't Big Enough ft. Shirley Davis
Without doubt, there are only a handful of contemporary bands who can really nail the
authentic, gritty and soulful feel that so many groups attempt to create, and
Australia's Deep Street Soul are one of those outfits leading from the front.
One vital factor in creating genuine 21st century funk & soul is having top notch
vocalists with the prerequisite spirit of real soul and DSS suffer an embarrassment
of riches in that respect - having both Mighty May Johnston and Shirley Davis strut
their stuff on either side of this cracking 45 single.
Taken from the recent DSS album 'Look Out, Watch Out' (FSRCD092), the A side 'Hold On
Me' was screaming out for release as a kicking 7 inch single, as May and the band
push the big funk button on this original composition. We suggest you wallow in the
chunky horns, diamond hard drums and growling organ riffs and let your knees be
knocked bandy by Warren Hunters thundering bass lines!
Residing on the flip side is DSS's respectful take on a quite recent modern funk
classic, namely Charles Bradley & The Bullets 'This Love Ain't Big Enough (for The
Two Of Us) Shirley Davis puts a feminine slant on this super hard funky soul gem, and
rounds off Deep Street Souls' latest addition to the modern funk lexicon.
