v/a - Giles Peterson Digs America: Brownswood USA

February 01, 2007


Another CD I was disinterested in at first. I assumed this was bad techno, like a Paul Oakenfold or something. But no! Its simply a compilation of awesome awesome jazzy soul and soulful jazz that I've never heard of before! I'm not a huge soul-head (read: I don't go out collecting obscure bits of expensive vinyl) but I'm glad Giles Peterson is, so he can feed me primers like this. The funky country-soul cover of "Higher Ground" alone is worth getting this CD. (On the subject of obscure soul, though, also check out the Eccentric Soul series on Numero.)
