Magic Sam leads the group on vocals and guitar, and he's working here with Mighty Joe Young on guitar, Odie Payne on... read more

A killer album of funk and soul! The group's got a nice warm sound, with lots of Fender Rhodes and mellow basslines -- and they move between sweet ballad soul and sinister funky instrumentals!

Two Taj Mahal classics -- back to back on a single CD!

A weird little album from the early 80s -- one that has Mandrill picking up a lot more electric touches than before, going for a compressed electrified sound that feels a lot like Fatback from the same period! The sound's quite different than the earlier Mandrill groove -- a bit less acoustic and... read more

Two Arista gems from Mandrill -- back to back on a brilliant CD!

Smooth soulful jazz from Harvey Mason -- one of his strong 70s winners for the Arista album, and a record that really brings a new level of class to his sound!

One of the best solo records from Harvey Mason -- best known as the drummer on some really monster 70s funky fusion sessions (such as Johnny Hammond's Gears album) -- but a surprisingly well-rounded R&B artist overall!

A nice batch of 2 lesser-known later Curtom albums. Never Say You Can't Survive is a great album of mellow soul tracks from Curtis!
