Wheedle's Groove

Wow! Who’d a thunk that Seattle, synonymous with grunge and garage rock would produce anything like this. Apparently, along with birthing the Sonics, the Wailers, Nirvana and Pearl Jam, the Seattle music scene was full of soul/funk combos trying their best to groove up the city. And this here compilation collects the cream of the crop from 1965-75. And the surprising part is, this stuff totally cooks! So, big thanks to Light In The Attic for shedding the, um, light on the subject.

    I’m glad y’all are likin’ this album. It really is a barn burner and, at $10 is totally affordable. Everyone should own this album…
