Tasty funky jazz – with kind of a groovy 60s edge! The band's a lot more jazz than rock, but that element is taken care of nicely with some fuzzy electric guitars and heavy work on the bass. Most of the tracks are covers of 60s pop tunes, and they're given some hip arrangements by Joe Renzetti that are kind of in an underground New York easy kind of mode. The record's got great versions of heavy rock classics like "Sunshine Superman", "Touch Me", "Sunshine Of Your Love", and "Hello, I Love You" – all of which retain the fuzziness of the originals, yet have some breakaway jazz solos amidst the larger band arrangements.

A pretty tasty album of instrumentals – all Motown, as you'd expect by the title, and all played by the Soultown Symphony, a side project of Wes Farrell and Joe Renzetti. The band have a similar style to the Jazz Rock Symposium – another Renzetti group on Anvil – with driving rock-heavy instrumentation set amidst larger orchestrations with strings and Motown-esque arrangements. The record's not totally funky – but there's a nice hard soul sock on many tracks, more so than on the original versions of some of the songs it covers. Titles include "What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted", "Love Child", "Stop! In The Name Of Love", "A Place In The Sun", and "My Whole World Ended". LP, Vinyl record album
