A few months back John Ciba, founder of local record label The Rabbit Factory, one-half of the East of Edens Soul Express DJ team and record crate digger extraordinaire, sent me a vinyl 7" single from local soul revivalists JC Brooks & the Uptown Sound, coincidentally signed to his label.

The A-side, "Get It Together," is a solid a funky slice of James Brown-inspired soul, but really did nothing for me. The B-side, on the other hand, was a revelation. Who knew a Wilco staple could sound like this?
