Raised in rural Mississippi on black church music, The Chambers Brothers became a groundbreaking act that grafted elements of gospel, soul and funk onto a basic rock foundation. Kind of an East Coast answer to Sly & the Family Stone, they never busted out a lot of hits, but the Chambers Brothers music was consistently intense and original. This 16-track comp captures it all — especially two versions of the irrepressible 1968 anthem of psychedelic soul, "Time Has Come Today."
