The Isley Brothers Story
Volume 2: The T-Neck Years (1969-85)

Description

Volume 2 of The Isley Brothers Story chronicles the group’s most creatively fertile period, capturing the years when they commanded their own T-Neck label and defined the intersection of funk, soul, and R&B on their own terms. This CD opens with the era-launching declaration of independence ‘It’s Your Thing’ and moves through landmark recordings including the simmering two-part epic ‘Fight The Power’ and the sensuous, string-drenched ‘For The Love Of You.’ The 15-track collection also includes their electrifying cover of ‘Summer Breeze’ and the strutting ‘That Lady,’ showcasing Ernie Isley’s razor-sharp guitar work that set the band apart from virtually every other soul act of the 1970s. An essential document of one of American music’s most enduring and influential groups…
