Tramp Germany レコード& CD

Review: The mighty Tramp label welcomes Reno And The Chosen 3 for some classic soul gems here. The first cut is 'Soul Bagg' and is powered by some great Hammond Organ work that's lively and dances over rolling drums and nice twanging guitar riffs that have a subtle but psyched-out 60s feel. The party picks up with the more swinging sounds of 'You Are My Sunshine' on the backside. This one has a big female diva vocal and some high-grade Northern Soul energy that will light up any floor.

Review: A dedicated exploration of the short-lived but hugely influential San Diego imprint Musette Records. Three years (65-68) and less than 20 releases to its name but every track was serious piece of raw soul from many musicians who went on to life a long life in music. Echoes of Jake & Elwood can be found in Big Daddy Rucker while the surging blues of Arlene Williams will resonate hard with any card carrying Soul Investigators fan and the gospel of Ervin Rucker is so powerful it can raise the dead over 40 years later. With added cameos from Big Daddy's GME imprint, Tramp have created a critical piece of soul history right here.
