│release notes.
A bold step forward for the deep funk groove of Timmion Records --
way more than just a "funk band meets diva" set, and instead a
fully-formed soul record that's one of the greatest indies we've
heard in years!
Nicole Willis has already won our hearts with earlier records, but
here she's working with the Soul Investigators to carve out an
album of classic brilliance -- a 70s-styled set that would easily
stand alongside the best from King, Brunswick, or Curtom from years
back. And in fact, the Curtom reference is especially strong on the
few tracks that feature added strings -- used here in a really
righteous way that push the sound past simple funky combo backings,
and into a rolling, soaring mode that would have made Curtis
Mayfield proud! But if you're a fan of harder funk, don't worry at
all -- because there's plenty of tunes here that maintain a rougher
funky 45 groove -- mixed in alongside the more ambitious numbers to
make for an instant classic of an album. Production is by the
enigmatic Didier, backings are by the tremendous Soul
Investigators, and even Jimi Tenor gets in a bit of organ and
vocals on the set!
