Beyond the Aughts: This Time a Little Somethin' Soulful



I have been thinking of what I want from the year to come, and for lack of good insight have been hesitant to write about it.  Right now, however I feel perfectly fine that I did not impart to you my greeting card sentiments in proper haste.  This is because in time for Martin Luther King Day, from my own library and some of the blog-o-sphere's best offerings of the year, I whipped up one steaming hot extra concentrated dose of funk.   This mix I hope will impart to readers and passerby alike the smooth grooves and great performances to bring out the vinyl junkie, soul sister, rare groover, and funk soul brother in all of us for the year to come.  My fascination with funk and soul began with my band Marajo Funk, but if I had this mix I would have started a lot earliear.  Hopefully this will bring loyal readers and passerby alike will make you think about clicking around a bit more on the blogroll to the right of your screen and impart to you the impulse to lead your own funky journey in this coming decade. Enjoy!
