Jr. Walker & the All Stars - Shotgun

Happy new year everybody, I hope that 2010 treated you well!
As the year wrapped up, I was beginning to enjoy a lot of Motown classics, and I imagine that 2011 will see me delving into a lot more rhythm and blues, soul and funk. Shotgun is the first release from Jr. Walker & the All Stars. First released in 1965, the record centers around a funk jazz fusion sound. Some truly great tracks here.

Sample the Album

Nigeria Rock Special: Psychedelic Afro-Rock & Fuzz Funk In 1970's Nigeria

This is quite an impressive compilation. The mix showcases the underground rock scene of Nigeria in the 1970s, which was largely influenced by the psychedelic movement of the western world and traditional African music.
