Have Soul Will Travel - Live at the Funky Butt (2002)

Have Soul Will Travel -- Live at the Funky Butt (Independent) The cover choices on Have Soul Will Travel's live CD -- including Jimmy McGriff's "The Worm," Lonnie Smith's "Play it Back," and Roy Brooks' "The Free Slave" -- point to the band's sonic debt to Blue Note Records' eminently funky late-60s groove albums. Guitarist Bert Cotton's guitar playing deserves special mention, as Cotton uncorks an arsenal of gorgeous tones, precision comping, and judicious doses of wah-wah pedal.
