There are songs out there that kill me when I hear them. I have to listen over and over...and the song keeps sounding better and better. Galactic's cut from their new album YA-KA-MAY is one of them. It features the Soul Queen of New Orleans Irma Thomas. This is Galactic's second collaborative album, the first being From the Corner to the Block, which was loaded with hip-hop artists. It had an amazing sound, and YA-KA-MAY (from the 2 tracks I've heard) proves to be an even more exciting mixing old with new.
YA-KA-MAY is set to be released Feb 9, 2010 on Anti Records. The album features established legends such as the Rebirth Brass Band, Irma Thomas, Big Chief Bo Dollis, Allen Toussaint and Walter "Wolfman" Washington with younger artists like Trombone Shorty and Corey Henry, John Boutté, Josh Cohen and Scully, and Glen David Andrews, as well as groundbreaking new "Bounce" artists like Cheeky Blakk, Big Freedia, Katey Red, and Sissy Nobby.

Funky Trunk
I have had the pleasure of hosting Funky Trunk on Utah Free Media, www.utahfm.org since the station's inception in May 2008. Look for music posts on funk, blues, R&B, soul and anything groovy.
I've got a trunk full of funk, and I'm happy to share with you.
Yeah you rite.
