The last - 1997's More Original Raw Soul - largely contained the duo's heavy funk and soul\"... well before the aughts' Deep Funk revival that one could argue began with these two German siblings' earliest recordings. Fitting, then, that this - Original Raw Soul III - looks back at recordings dating back over twenty years but never once sounds dated or dull. There's the garage funk of the early Poets incarnation the Bus People Express; the deep jazz of vocalist Bajka gigging with a Max Whitefield ensemble; the pan-African psych-jazz of the Whitefield Brothers. And that's just three of the ensembles contained within. Original Raw Soul III contains sixteen tracks that span the gamut of forty years of musical innovation, recorded over the past twenty years, and presented anew today. Contains two previously unreleased songs by The Transgressors, also released on a 7\" in conjunction with this album\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1    New Process–    Bus People Theme    3:49\u003cbr\u003e2    Poets Of Rhythm–    Summerdays (Inst)    3:41\u003cbr\u003e3    Transgressors–    Will Power    4:28\u003cbr\u003e4    Bajka–    A Vision 1\/3    3:26\u003cbr\u003e5    Karl Hector \u0026amp; The Malcouns–    J.B.
