Townies, homecoming queens, and big men on campus manifest a homegrown and revolutionary sound in Civil Rights-era Greensboro. Among presidential hopefuls and future astronauts, North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University, located in Greensboro, was a hotbed of black excellence, activism, and raw talent. At the helm of a half-dozen labels, local yokel Walter Grady assembled a rotating cast of townies, homecoming queens, and big men on campus to manifest a scintillating sound that was both homegrown and revolutionary. Eccentric Soul: The Linco Label compiles melodic milestones from the birthplace of the civil rights movement.

Harper L. ★★★★★

The pressing is quiet and the soundstage really brings out the grit in those Greensboro recordings. I’ve been spinning it all weekend, and the raw energy from that era just hits differently on vinyl.

Benjamin ★★★☆☆

The liner notes are fascinating but the vinyl itself has a persistent surface noise that distracts from the music. I wanted to love the historical context, but the pressing quality feels average for the price.
