Various Artists - Local Customs Downriver Revival (2009) LP Version Numero - Rare Detroit Soul (FLAC)

Between 1967 and 1981, Detroit’s downriver neighbor Ecorse, Michigan, had its very own homemade studio. Set up in a basement on 18th Avenue, electronics wiz, guitarist, and Ford plant foreman Felton Williams chronicled the musical lives of Ecorse’s citizens and issued them on his Solid Rock, Compose, Cass, and Revival labels. Compiled here are 24 of Williams’ most fascinating recordings, covering gospel, soul, garage, jazz, and funk. An entire basement of dreams crammed into one tidy package. Raw & unpolished but sang from the heart!
