5th stop on the Eccentric Soul train. A deep dig through the photo albums and tape libraries of Phoenix, Arizona's second family of soul. Released on a half dozen local and national labels throughout the 60s and 70s, Mike Lenaburg's productions represent that wrong side of the desert sound. A melange of Tejano psychedelia, flutey funk, horny soul, and fistfight doo-wop !

Five years since the initial CD release, Eccentric Soul: Mighty Mike Lenaburg finally makes it back to its intended format as a deluxe double LP. This 180 gram “Loaded To The Gills” edition features 10 bonus tracks, scores of new photographs, and new liner notes, all housed in a heavy gatefold jacket.

Eccentric Soul: Mighty Mike Lenaburg chronicles Phoenix, Arizona’s off-”Funky Broadway” scene that happened while Dyke and his Blazers were setting national charts on fire in the late ‘60s/early ‘70s. Covering Tejano psych, flute funk, both horny soul and horny kid soul, cackling R&B, deep ballads, and fist-fight doowop, Lenaburg channeled that wrong side of the desert sound to a dozen 45s for the Mighty, Darlene, Homogenized Sound, Ramco, and Out of Sight imprints.
