I have been a soulfood76 fan from their humble beginnings from shows in their house to independent releases. I can't give enough props to these fellas for their persistence and their awesome music, there just aren't enough new revolution funk bands around but these fellas do all they can to make up for that. RIP soulfood76

I just love this album, is very original and has great lyrics. Anyone who loves classic rock style music or an active bass should defiantly check them out!

One of my favorite "alternative/funk" albums of all time is Soulfood '76 Original Soundtrack. This album I've listened to a bit less, but they still rock. I had to write a review due to the previous reviewer who critized the vocals. D. Fairbanks has extremely distinguishable vocals which stand out in a sea of mundane efforts! In fact, his vocals are one of the primary reasons I love this band and I just can't imagine changing them! It'd be like Nirvana without Kurt, Wilco without Jeff, or Beck without Beck - it just wouldn't be Soulfood '76!!!! Most of the vocalist I've mentioned would never succeed in a band like Journey or on a TV show like American Idol, but these guys have unique voices which make them stand far ahead of any polished singer!!!!! In addition to the vocals, the music is absolutely first rate, great sound on the drums with a "retro" feel, great guitar riffs and great guitar tone with just enough "fuzz" and even the bass lines are memorable.
