A gritty, high‑octane dive into late‑’60s Southern funk, Funky Way brings together the complete Venture Recordings output of Calvin Arnold — a criminally overlooked powerhouse of raw soul, driving grooves and razor‑tight rhythm sections.
This 2024 Kent Soul mono compilation (KENTX 528) assembles every A‑ and B‑side from the era, including dancefloor favourites “Funky Way”, “Snatchin’ Back”, “Scoobie Doo”, and the wickedly humorous “Messin’ With the Old Folks Home.”
A goldmine for Northern Soul collectors, funk DJs and deep‑cut soul heads.
