Album lore

Feeling Nice, issued by Tramp Records in mid-2011, assembles a selection of funk and soul-jazz idiosyncrasies under the banner of rare funk. The compilation’s fifteen cuts range from the groove-heavy “Funky Pete Pt. 1” and “Pt. 2” to the James Brown-inspired “James Brown Boo-Ga-Loo,” threading through tracks that lean into indie and alternative inflections as well. The featured “Black Door Jeannye” exemplifies the collection’s commitment to deep funk’s rhythmic insistence and dusty textures.Though its audience remains modest, with just over a thousand scrobbles on Last.fm, Feeling Nice offers an artifact for crate-diggers who prize obscure grooves and the interplay between funk’s classic and indie expressions. It stands as a quietly potent signal within the broader canon of funk reissues and compilations, serving those who listen for the subtle resonances beneath the surface of the genre’s more familiar hits.
