VARIOUS – Paul Hillery presents Folk Funk & Trippy Troubadours Volume 3 – 3LP – Gatefold Vinyl [FEB 7]

3LP – Heavyweight Black Vinyl (22 tracks) – Comes with extensive sleeve notes.

Paul Hillery has once again handpicked a must-have compilation of little-known and high-quality tracks for his ongoing Folk Funk and Trippy Troubadours series. This third volume, the first on BBE Music, is an essential companion to Paul’s Children Of The Sun trilogy, also released on BBE Music.

Featuring an array of funky folk, jazzy AOR grooves, fuzzed-out lo-fi dub, DIY folktronica, private-press grails and previously unreleased material, Folk Funk and Trippy Troubadours Volume 3 has 22 tracks over triple vinyl and comes with extensive sleeve notes. Includes such gems as the ethereal sound of Sheila Chandra, the euphoric groove of Tim Green, the infectious bass-heavy folk of Dave Smith & Judy Dinning, dreamy Alaskan soft-rock from Soapstone and a West Coast call to enlightened celebration by Rhythm & Bliss. This compilation could soundtrack a cross-continental journey with the music lover sat on a Greyhound bus with earphones on and a battered copy of Kerouac’s On The Road.

Paul Hillery has curated releases by Will & James Ragar, Forest, and Monica Rypma for BBE Music. Described as an ‘enlightened heathen’ Paul has shared music via his highly influential Folk Funk and Trippy Troubadours persona on social media for over a decade, cultivating an unerring knack for uncovering rare and lost sounds.

Released on triple vinyl LP, CD and digital – Folk Funk and Trippy Troubadours Volume 3 is a must-have compilation.
