One of my favorites is a compilation called "Funky Funky Detroit" with Black Nasty, etc
another good starting point is "A Funky Trip - Detroit Funk from the Dave Hamilton Archive" - there are bunch of Dave Hamilton collections out there released by Ace records. He was one of the few Motown artists that was allowed to do his own work outside of that organization, ran his own studio/labels.

Sy Smith - Until We Meet Again
A new to me singer, but Sy Smith has been around for many year. Besides several self-released solo album she has sung backup for Whitney, a member of the Foreign Exchange and part of Chris Botti's ensemble. Anyways, for this she works with Zo! and Tall Black Guy and the vocals are nice of soul and jazz influenced. Loads of Fender Rhodes played by a local DC musician who goes by Dre King and Shelia E. makes a guest appearance. Recommended if you are into late 70s R&B singer such as Patrice Rushen and Minnie Riperton. Sy like Minnie has a five octave vocal range. As a fan of indie soul, I will of course be checking out here other records

given the speed of trains there, "an hour away" covers a lot of ground…

Trojan rude boy box
Great box
Great box
I'm a fan of the smithereens, not sure I could do 21 cds of them
Well it took me years to acquire but there is a lot of great live stuff on it….
A box set that lives up to its potential
Glad I got one of these as was extremely limited!!!
Listening to Bob and thinking I met three people important in his life…they are all dead now…thinking I should have asked them about Bob: Aston Familyman Barrett, Lee Scratch Perry and Bunny Wailer. Kind of amazed I met them.

Hailing from Austin this band of siblings referred to themselves as Afro-Punk but there is lots of blurring of lines with Afro-Rock, Alternative, Metal…
