Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Kaleidoscopic Funk Collision, Volume 2.......2003-02-15

Just slightly less excellent than the previous volume in the series, Gimme Shelter, Paint It Black is nevertheless another exciting compilation of forgotten soul/funk tracks from the early `70s which dip into psychedelic rock.

The Chambers Brothers start things off with the classic "Time has come today," presented here in its full mix. Undisputed Truth remakes the Temptations track "Ball of Confusion," and producer Norman Whitfield (who also produced the Temps version) lets the session musicians stretch out to their full acid jamming might on this super-long track. Africa gets all weird on the Rolling Stones standard "Paint it Black," turning the song into a chanting dirge, and the Supremes add a little extra funk to the Beatles classic "Come Together."

Discovering forgotten artists and songs is what these compilations are all about, and I can only hope Harmless continues to release volumes in this excellent series.
