Groovin' With the Soulful Strings
The Soulful Strings' second album includes one of their few well-known tracks, the Richard Evans original "Burning Spear." But there are also superb arrangements of jazz (Miles Davis' "All Blues"), psychedelic pop (George Harrison's "Within You Without You"), top-40 (The Rascals' "Groovin'"), and much much more. Once again the strings swing and the non-stringed instruments really shine, with superb playing from Charles Stepney, Lenard Druss, Bunky Green, Phil Upchurch, Ronald Steele, Morris Jennings, Jr. and many others.
