It wasn't all psychedelic rock n roll during the Vietnam War, it took place during a period where some of the funkiest music in history was made. Here is a selection of tracks that either reference the war or are symbolic of the type of grooves happening in the early 1970's. Highlights include the whacked out eastern funk of "Koto Mata", the fuzz guitar infused cover version of "Superstition" and the slinky "Coming Home Baby" which is almost unrecognizable compared to the original song. As a bonus there are some random hip hop beats to finish off the compilation. Make funk not war!!!

oh...the link is broken.Could you share this album again?I really want to hear these songs.Thanks.
Some interesting-looking covers here. Can't wait to listen to them. Thanks a million for these!
Re The Saphires - they were an australian aboriginal group and there is a recent great movie about their Vietnam experience called, of course, The Saphires. It features the fabulous singer Jessica Mauboy.
I hadn't noticed the Saphires were on this CD! I'm giving my mother the movie soundtrack for Christmas : )
