Various Artists - Eccentric Folk Soul (Eccentric Cream Vinyl) (LP)

What exactly is Folk Soul? It's not the contemporary roots-rock or country-adjacent ballads you're probably familiar with. Folk Soul sits right before, if not directly along side, the black music diaspora of the mid-to-late 60s through the early 70s. Where Spiritual Soul channels the ethos of pro-black liberation and the broader struggle of it's era, Folk Soul lived in the dissection, classification, and outright denial of the status quo - confronting the complex, rigid power struggles of the time through minimalist, classically trained, and forward-thinking approaches to song craft. This LP Kills Fascist.
