Various Artists - Folk Funk & Trippy Troubadours Vol 2 CD/2LP
"Folk Funk and Trippy Troubadours Volume Two" compiled by Paul Hillery - record collector, archivist and DJ.
For "Folk Funk and Trippy Troubadours Volume Two", Paul dives back into the vaults for more seriously good, rare cuts for all to enjoy. Spanning seventeen tracks, the new compilation represents his continued journey with the Folk Funk and Trippy Troubadours sound.
Think of heady sounds to soundtrack balmy English summers and Balearic poolside drops, the compilation includes a huge slab of privately pressed obscurities with some previously unreleased material. Standout tracks include the folk funk masterpiece Morning Brings The Light by Grand Union, pressed to vinyl for the first time here. The previously unreleased groove of Undone by Tasha Lee McCluney co-written with Joey Stec of Curt Boettcher's California supergroup The Millennium.
Another vinyl debut Teardrops Lost In The Rain (Stallions Remix) by Findlay Brown, where the original folky Midnight Cowboy soundtrack vibe is elevated by a hypnotic space disco twist, all while still keeping the melodic root of the original version. Another outstanding cut is flute-driven jazz masterpiece Weepin by Cascada featuring Jaime Roos, Ronald Langestraat and Ben van Bergen on percussion. And the anthemic Let Me Ride by Australian singer/songwriter Peter Campbell will leave you yearning for more.
