In this episode of What’s In My Collection, Greg digs into the funky side of his personal music archive, pulling out records and tapes that do not just sound great, but feel great.

This episode focuses on groove-forward music that truly comes alive on a good system. Along the way, Greg touches on different formats, including vinyl, reel-to-reel, and high-quality digital releases, and explains why certain versions stand out for their realism, warmth, and musical engagement. Whether you are a longtime funk fan or just looking for music that brings energy and atmosphere into the room, this episode offers plenty of inspiration.

If you love funk, soul, groove-driven sounds, and discovering music that rewards repeat listening, this one is for you.

Thanks for listening, and thanks for supporting Music To My Ear. 🎶
