Synopsis

Album Description

The fourth volume in our Eccentric Soul series examines the oil stained underside of the Motor City sound. There are no gold records, million dollar buyouts, or quaint museums at the end of the story, just a handful of four figure 45s, a box of photographs, and a condemned building. If Detroit was once an ocean of soul, the Big Mack label was certainly an island. Big Mack lasted an incredible twenty years with out so much as a sniff of a hit. Dogged by lack of airplay, distribution, and a general lack of understanding of the music business, the label failed on almost every level except where it counted; the music. From soulful doo-wop to blistering garage funk, a left at sultry R&B and then a quick dodge into budget Hendrix wailing over a steel drum break, this disc is the epitome of Eccentric Soul.

(5 out of 5 stars)

"If you like or are interested in learning about rare soul and funk, research can be a daunting task. Thousands recorded a song or two in the 60s and 70s. Expert DJs are still circling the globe to dig through cashes of these 45s

A good way to start your homework is not by artist, but labal. Ecentric Soul has done a lot of this for you. Vol 9, the Big Mac labal, is excellent. The compilation is chronological, so you get gutbucket 60s soul, and later, slick 70s work, some of which borders on jazz (check out the version of Peggy Lee's "Fever" and "Feel It" by Suger Re Jones.) The cross section here is great and you can really see how the music changed from the 60s to the 70s, as production and session players became more sophisticated.

All the work here ranges from good to outstanding, and this is a great CD for novice or expert."
