Reaching worldwide good vibes with his weekly BBC 6 Music show and road block funk & soul parties, Craig Charles releases 'The Craig Charles Funk & Soul Club' on the 26th November, an album of choice cuts that explore the best in funk and soul from the roots of black music through to some of his favorite current & classic tracks alongside new releases.
Craig Said:
"This CD contains 19 rip snorting, bass drum banging, brass blaring booga-bloody-loo, big beats, bass lines and blooming brilliant vocals. From as far away as Australia with The Bamboo's ultimate party starter Amen Brother, to The Excitements coming out of Barcelona - boy can she rattle your glasses! I bring you some cover versions that have surely got to be better than the real thing, like Nostalgia 77 & Alice Russell's take on The White Stripes '7 Nation Army'.
And T Bird and the Breaks 'Clap Hands Song'. not to mention The Incredible Bongo Bands' skin shredding version of The Rolling Stones 'Satisfaction'. Bands like Smoove & Turrell from the northeast and The Haggis Horns from Scotland via Leeds prove that Britain's response to the music laid down by legends such as James Brown, the hardest workingman in show business, has been truly remarkable.
All these tunes are guaranteed to tear the roof off any venue festival or house party in the known universe. Enjoy and remember ...no sleep till bedtime!"
