Junior Walker & The All Stars – Soul Session (1966) Album Review & Tracklist

Soul  records 1966 ‎– SS 702

notes:

Released in 1966, Soul Session by Junior Walker & The All Stars 

is a powerful showcase of raw Motown soul, R&B, and instrumental

 funk energy. Known for their gritty saxophone-driven sound,

 the band helped define a more rhythm-heavy and dancef

loor-oriented side of Motown.

Following the success of earlier hits like “Shotgun,” this album

 further cemented their reputation as one of the most distinctive

 and groove-focused acts of the 1960s.

This album sits at the crossroads of instrumental soul and vocal R&B, 

highlighting Junior Walker’s unmistakable saxophone style—gritty, 

punchy, and deeply rooted in jump blues traditions

The original line up consisted of 

Jr. Walker tenor sax

Willie Woods bass, 

Vic Thomas organ, 

Billy Nix drums.
