Funky soul galore -- all of it current, and all of it plenty darn great as well! Back when the first volume of this series was released, the idea of contemporary funk was a bit of a novelty -- but now, the deep funk underground is really getting some key exposure on a global level -- and a collection like this is a good reminder of why it's so great in the first place! Artists span the best from both the US and European scenes -- and although recorded recently, all the tracks here have a hard, gritty feel that's every bit as wonderful as the best funky 45s you might find from the 60s and 70s.
