With a lineup including The Meters, Lee Dorsey, Aaron Neville and The Ohio Players it's no surprise this collection lives up to the album title. A couple of these songs should be instantly recognizable - "(I Got) So Much Trouble On My Mind" was recently re-recorded by Sharon Jones And The Dapkings and ofcourse "I Gotcha" was one of the highlights of the Reservoir Dogs soundtrack. Other songs of note include "Sport" by Lightning Rod and "It's A New Day" by Skull Snaps (their album is coming to Funky Frolic soon). To the serious funk aficionado this album might cover some familiar territory but it's a worthwhile journey thanks to the quality of the track selection and the excellent performances.
