Various Artists – Eccentric Soul: The Tammy Label
Lost in the soot and fall out from Youngstown, Ohio’s infamous Black Monday steel industry collapse was Tony March’s cross-generational Tammy label. From its early days as a doo wop powerhouse to their last gasps chasing disco hits, Tammy unintentionally documented Youngstown’s small but prolific Black music scene. This single LP surveys the label’s best R&B, soul, funk and disco, with 13 tracks from Ice Cold Love, Lynn Minor, J. c. & The Soul Angels, The Snapshots, Iron Knowledge, Roy Jefferson and Steel City Band. The Tammy label continues Numero’s 20 year tradition of preserving regional Ohio music.
