Really Heavy Soul

This curated collection captures the raw energy of early-'70s funk and soul, where artists like James Brown and Sly Stone's influence sparked a fusion of hard rock, psychedelia, and gritty groove. Opening with James Brown's "Get Up, Get Into It, Get Involved," the selection weaves together iconic cuts from Curtis Mayfield, Mandrill, the Chi-Lites, Wilson Pickett, and Roy Ayers alongside deeper cuts from the Politicians, Glass House, the El Dorados, and Swamp Dogg. Really Heavy Soul balances essential classics with rare grooves that defined one of popular music's most serious and inventive eras.
