Sydney 8-piece Dojo Cuts are one of Australia's hottest funk & soul outfits. The band combine crisp, tight, funky instrumentals with some killer vocals by the delectable Roxie Ray that are in equal parts power and grit. Lean, mean and heavy - there is not a bass-note or hi-hat out of place – everything is slave to the groove, and what grooves they are!
Dojo Cuts are working from, and building upon, the original late 60s/early 70s Stax/Atlantic rhythm-with-horns template ... think Amy Winehouse, The Dap Kings, Etta James & the Budos Band.
"Roxie Ray could sing the phone book and I would buy it. Luckily the material on offer here is much better than the phone book! Funky and sultry in equal measures, this is a one fabulous album!” - Craig Charles (Funk&Soul Show on BBC6)
About this track...
Incredible cover of the Etta James classic from 1968, an impassioned vocal performance from Sydney's Roxie Ray, with Dojo Cuts providing a very tasteful horn-led arrangement.
