Within every major and minor hotbed of
soul music there will always be a veritable treasure trove of undiscovered gems and
funk classics from bands that should have made it big, but for one reason or another didn't. New Orleans proves to fall along these lines, producing a lineage of undiscovered
funk talent that rivals any major U.S. city during the '70s. This particular release in the massive
Funky Delicacies campaign to reissue this particular era focuses on keyboardist and bandleader
Sam Henry and his
Soul Machine's output from 1968 to 1974. It's an 18 song compilation chock-full of
funk delights that will please and appease crate diggers and beat junkies; the performances are top notch and feature some of New Orleans' most underrated and sorely overlooked musicians. While definitely not for the casual
funk enthusiast, diehards will rejoice that another city's treasures have gone unearthed, and could easily warrant shelf space in their collections.
