Unexpectedly, this anthology is chock full of not only uber catchy songs, soulful grooves, even funky dance floor shape-throwing moves, but it also has a back beat that is decidedly disco! Throw into the eclectic musical mix of highly intense introspective work some unplugged acoustic tracks, and this anthology truly illustrates an artist at his finest. If this album sets your musical taste buds alight, and you want to know more about the man himself, well you're in luck, for following along hot on the heels of this CD is the release of Greg’s autobiography. Featuring anecdotes about the likes of Billy Cobham, Elton John, Joe Cocker, Peter Green, Fela Kuti, and more, if it's anything as revealing as these strong, cohesive, warm, expansive, soulful, funky and so very sweet musical moods, it's bound to be a massive worldwide hit also. www.greggkofibrown.co.uk CD Purchase Linkwww.gonzomultimedia.co.u CURRENTLY AVAILABLE FROM GONZO Rock and Roll and UFOs Book - £9.99 Rock n Roll & UFOs Gregg Kofi Brown Anthology CD - £9.99
