Tony Cook & The G A`s - Brothers In The Groove (2005) Soul Junction - Rare Soul/Funk (FLAC 357MB)

This guy will be a name unfamiliar to many of you guys, but his pedigree is second to none having spent many years as James brown,s Drummer. I hunted for this gem in my collection as a very good friend requested it, just a matter of finding it, & here it is.Tony has only recorded 3 albums and 10 x 45,s in his career as he spent a lot of time out on the road. Very poor art again and no info in the album about him at all, just a picture of a blank wall?...dunno why they bothered ?..Its a great album of funk recorded in August ,Georgia & The Influence of James Brown,Fred Wesley, & Maceo Parker is stronly evident! long deleted from stock. Only one clip on youtube so i,ve added 2 more.
