Product Description

Oakland guitar ace Blacknell released multiple singles that ranged from raw R&B to powerhouse funk from the early 60s to the late 80s where he established himself as an East Bay original, an entrepreneur, an activist and a family man. It's ironic that he died before releasing an album despite having recorded enough material for several. This comp is made up of his super rare early releases as Eugene Blacknell and the Savonics, the highly sought after raw instrumental funk as Eugene Blacknell and the New Breed, his party-style vocal tracks and a host of unreleased material including radio promo ads for live shows, live recordings and both vocal and instrumental studio cuts. Booklet includes rare photos and a complete history courtesy of interviews with his widow, band members and Bay Area notables.
