SELECTED CUTS: Medley (Soul Medley); Shaky Ground; Disco Inferno; I’ve Got The Music In Me
DESCRIPTION: Here’s another one you can’t judge by its cover. Leisure-suited white guys on front; bizarre Liner Notes on back by hydroplane drag boat racer Bill Muncie (who apparently sat in with the band every so often). Recorded live at what I’d guess is a mountain lodge. Hmmmmm.
I figured it might be cheesy lounge pop, or something. But turns out it’s TOTALLY COOL PRIVATE-PRESS SOUL with some FUNK by VERY-OBSCURE BAND! Plus a bit of rock and funky disco. Occasionally rough, but generally EXCELLENT musicianship.
I did a bit of research on this one – the connection with boat racer Muncie makes sense – turns out the band actually sponsored professional drag boat racing (there was even a racing hydroplane that bore the band’s name!). When was the last time an obscure local band had the cash to sponsor an expensive pro sport?
Anyway, despite the racing team getting quite a few hits on Google, the band itself gets nary a mention (other than as a sponsor), and nowhere could I find any references to the LP – so it appears to be an UNKNOWN RARITY! Just a TOTAL GEM!
