Funkier Than a Mosquito's Tweeter is a 21-track collection culled from one of Ike & Tina's most prolific and creative periods. It is also a largely forgotten period because they had no hits.

Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars)
Turnin' Up The HEAT!!! With their extensive catalogue, there are all kinds of compilations from the different labels they called home. Some good and some bad compilations.

If you only buy one Ike and Tina cd for your collection, you wouldn't go wrong with this set. Ike's blazing guitar is as good as it gets and Tina is clearly turnin up the HEAT!
