Title: Sometimes they are rarities for a reason
Review: Lately I've started to look for early funk recordings that I had never heard of. Cold Heat seemed like a great collection.On first listen though, this wasn't as groovin' as I had hoped for. It could be that the lo-budget production quality of the tracks got in the way or maybe the material itself was off. It's useful to hear the influences of the day. Psychedelic rock meets soul blues and early funk. And I did like that it was mostly instrumental. It seems like this stuff was best experienced live, and didn't translate that well in the studio.
Is the review positive or negative?
