Chigago based Soulful Strings combines funky drumbeats and basslines with string arrangements. When I found their String Fever album I was sort of sceptic, but when listening to the opening track Zambezi, it really got me interested. It was something really original and totally new sound of funk or soul for me. Groovy flute on these both tracks played by Lenny Druss is something that I've always liked. You listen and decide yourself.
String Fever was released by Cadet records in 1969. In my opinion it’s got two tracks that stand up from the others: Zambezi and Chocolate Candy. Here you go.
