Keeping the funk on, here’s a mix I made of feisty female fronted funk. The tracks are about half and half old and new, the newest being Gizelle Smith & The Mighty Mocambos, from the album ‘This is Gizelle Smith & The Mighty Mocambos’ which came out this year (well worth checking out), all the way through some psychedelic afro – beat poetry from Wanda Robinson, hymns of heartbreak and struggle from Mary Love and Marva Witney, some rare soul from The Sisters of Righteousness, a bit of Big Lebowski worship from Sharon Jones (also new) . .anyway there will be some tunes you know, hopefully a good few that you don’t, all good sassy funky vibes from some beautiful and talented ladies. Enjoy !
This is a mix, split into the individual tracks for ease of navigation, so you may want to listen to it without gaps if you need to do that with your player, I use winamp which doesn’t leave a gap between tracks . .anyway . . .

ReplyDeleteLove it. Never realised seven nation army was a cover.
ReplyDeleteHow about spy surf next?
Cheers guys
ReplyDeleteThat's a cover of the White Stripes tune Dave, I was surprised to see that Alice Russell is a blonde white woman too . . .
I could do a spy surf mix . . there's a lot of crossover into detective, film noir surf though, not sure where I'd draw the line . . . I could do a surf in general mix, or a compilation . .hmmm I'll think about it
