Born in the Midwestern U.S., soul singer
Geno Washington found himself in the position of leading a U.K. group of hopped-up rhythm & blues players while stationed overseas. As the vocalist for the Ram Jam Band,
Washington delivered gritty, high-energy performances with all the gusto of any of the better-known names of late-'60s rocking soul while the band backed him up with equal fire.
Foot Stompin' Soul is a massive greatest-hits collection, with over 50 tracks from the group's most active years.
Washington fronts the Ram Jam Band through a set list of mostly covers, but one that covers a wide spectrum of classic soul sounds, ranging from Motown fare to funk-infused takes on
the Beatles and the Stones. ~ Fred Thomas
