Turner, Ike -& The Kings Of Rhythm-
A Black Man's Soul
Here's the official reissue of the album originally released on Dallas' Pompeii label in April 1969. When he was out on tour with his regular gig, the Ike & Tina Turner Revue, Ike found the time to cut this unbelievable instrumental album. Whenever he had some spare time he would drag the band into a local studio and lay down tracks, resulting in these 12 funky soul jams that sound like they were lifted from a blaxploitation movie. The band is tight and laid-back at once, with horns at the forefront most of the time. Los Angeles hip-hop group Jurassic 5 later sampled 'Getting Nasty' on their self-titled EP. SIDE 1: 1.
