City slickers, homecoming queens, and campus big shots cut a revolutionary, local sound in Civil Rights-era Greensboro. Among presidential hopefuls and future astronauts, North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University in Greensboro was a hotbed of Black excellence, activism, and raw talent. At the helm of a half-dozen labels, local yokel Walter Grady pulled together a rotating cast of artists to lay down a shimmering sound that was both local and revolutionary. Eccentric Soul: The Linco Label compiles the melodic milestones from the cradle of the Civil Rights movement. Pressed on double vinyl.
