Black Feeling Volume Two - out on Freestyle Records

Black Feeling Volume Two
(CD/LP/Digital) Freestyle Records FSRCD090/FSRLP090, 2011-07-11

Back in September 2007, Freestyle Records released Black Feeling an album project brought to life by Australian musical supremo Lance Ferguson, the man responsible for Freestyle soul-jazz organ trio Cookin On 3 Burners, as well as The Bamboos & Lanu projects on Tru Thoughts Recordings. Here's the follow up album. The main concept with the Black Feeling cover versions is that the finished product should not just be some kind of carbon copy of an established classic and Lance explains his approach further: "The initial study of the original recordings enables me to be freer with interpreting, re-arranging and changing them for the final album. Often I will make changes to make a track a little more attractive or usable for DJs and the dancefloor in general." The entire album sparkles with energy and display an intelligent and varied approach to reworking much loved classic as Lance states: "I think it's really important to flip the cover-versions up and offer the listener something new so often I'll change instrumentation around to achieve something unique." And something unique is what he and his crew of top musical talent have achieved - welcome to Black Feeling Two!

Black Feeling Volume Two - Sampler 45 - out on Freestyle Records

Black Feeling Volume Two - Sampler 45
(7"/Digital) Freestyle Records FSR7068, 2011-06-06

Do you remember Black Feeling, the 2007 album (and singles) released on Freestyle Records, which looked like a compilation of funk/soul covers by unknown bands, but was indeed all pseudonyms for various bands directed by Australian funk/soul guitarist/producer/DJ Lance Ferguson a.k.a. Lanu: The Bamboos, Cookin' On 3 Burners, etc.? It was quite a fantastic project and now here's its follow-up, Black Feeling 2!! Well... first things first, here's the 45 taster from that upcoming compilation, starting with an irresistible funk'n'rushed cover of Burning Spear, originally by Richard Evans (The Soulful Strings/Cadet Records). Try to imagine George Benson competing with The JB's to whom will play faster... The b-side is another monster track, a cover of Johnny Pate's blaxploitation classic Shaft In Africa, not as much exciting but nearly perfect too. If the album's as good as this single it's gonna be a monster one!!!
