Akira Ishikawa & His Count Buffalo & The Jazz Rock Ban - Prayer With Faith And Love (2014)

One of the rarest entries in Ishikawa Akira’s discography. One this beauty here Ishikawa and group dives head first into the murky waters of funky soul and gospel inspired tunes, which he executes with a demented twist that characterizes so many of Japan’s late sixties and early seventies hybrid recordings.

Killer groovy vibes all round that stand eyeball to eyeball with the high rollers and which makes you shake your hips on the dance floor with your loved one, howling and clawing at each other like wild beasts in heat.
