Joe Bataan - Latin Funk Brother (2002)

One of Joe Bataan's most fantastic Latin Soul albums from the late 60's! The record features a great variety of cuts that run the gamut from hard-hitting Latin groovers, to the kind of sweet and tender soul ballads that made Joe a legend with the crossover harmony crowd. Nearly every track is fantastic - from the hard-jamming descarga-boogaloo cut 'It's a Good Feeling (Riot)', to the sad soul ballad sound of 'What Good is a Castle' and 'Daddy's Coming Home', to the sweet 'My Cloud' and 'Ordinary Guy', or the classic Latin jazz of 'Mambo de Bataan'. Wonderful! Vampi Soul. Digipak. 2002.
