The Diplomats Of Solid Sound (Music Tracks)

Since the release of their first 7-inch single, "Bullfrog Boogaloo," in 2001, the Diplomats of Solid Sound have been mining America's vast deposits of soul music to create a sound all their own -- a spare-but-spicy groove sired equally by progenitors such as Booker T., James Brown and The Funk Brothers. Now, after three full-length releases as an instrumental outfit, the Diplomats of Solid Sound have expanded the family for a new set of soul stunners they like to call "The Diplomats of Solid Sound, Featuring The Diplomettes." (2008, Record Kicks / Pravda Records).
