Ok, ive been getting into sounds like The Parliaments - The Goose, The Exits - You've Got Have Money and The Vibrations - I Took An Overdose. And to me at least, they have a very Psychedelic feel to them which is appealing to me as I like a lot of 60s garage and psyc. You can really feel that kind of vibe with the guitar riffs and singing style and way out lyrics in some of those songs.

Just wondering if people could post their favourite psychedelic soul tracks?

Cheers

I don't suppose psychedelic soul is an out and out genre of its own. But it's great to here soul sounds with that kind of vibe. Theres a few prominent black people on the 60s psych/rock scene with the obvious being Hendrix and Love ( the lead singer was a genius, but cant for the life of me remember his name). But they lack the soulful sounds that a lot of these tracks have.

Arthur Lee.

The guys that were Edwin Starr's backing band from 1965 to around 68 (the Soul Agents) became (after the 2 brass players went home to Cleveland) Black Merda.

Their stuff (under the Black Merda name) was heavily influenced by the Hendrix' sound.

It's not actually my 'cup of tea' ....

...... but it just shows how easy it was back then to go from performing as Impact (behind Gene Chandler, Billy Butler, the Artistics & the Spinners) to backing Edwin on "Back Street", "Stop Her On Sight", "You're My Mellow" & "25 Miles" to cutting "Foxy Lady" & "Reality". ............

As has been mentioned previously some of the stuff on this thread I wouldn't consider to be pysch soul so I suppose we could go to the other extreme with something like The Burning Bush - Keeps On Burning, which is pure pysch for my money but obviously was picked up for plays on the northern scene.

there a fair amount on here that, for me have very little to do with phyc soul, detroit seemed to be a bit of a hotbed for it, the early clintonj stuff for sure, maybe the influence of act like the stoogies and MC5 was a factor. I have to agree that sly definatly had the sound, as does quite of lot of funk out of texas, such as mickey and the soul generation.

Billy Lamont - Sweet Thang (featuring the unmistakeable Jimi Hendrix on guitar)

Iron Knowledge - Showstopper (heavy fuzzed out black biker funk)
