Editorial Reviews

Outstanding 2012 collection. What in the hell is Country Funk you ask? The answer is a complicated one, in part due to the fact that Country Funk is an inherently defiant genre, escaping all efforts at easy categorization. The style encompasses the elation of gospel with the sexual thrust of the blues, country hoedown harmony with inner city grit. It is alternately playful and melancholic, slow jammin', and booty shakin'. It is both studio slick and barroom raw. And while these all may seem unlikely combinations at first glance, upon close listen, it all makes sweet sense. Country Funk 1969-1975 is a melting pot concoction of the music of Dale Hawkins, John Randolph Marr, Cherokee, Johnny Adams, Mac Davis, Bob Darin, Jim Ford, Gray Fox, Link Wray, Bobby Charles, Tony Joe White, Dennis The Fox, Larry Jon Wilson, Bobbie Gentry, Gritz, and Johnny Jenkins.

4.0 out of 5 stars Weird, fun collection October 30, 2012
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I'm not entirely convinced that there is any such thing as "Country Funk," and rock music has blended urban and rural sounds since its inception, but that doesn't make this anthology of obscure treats any less appealing. A lot if it is terrific fun, often reminiscent of the later Elvis bands with guitars, a couple keyboards, horn sections and gospel singers. Some of the tracks are actually quite funky, others appearing somewhere along the soul/country spectrum. "L.A. Memphis Tyler Texas" rocks and is representative of what's best here. "I'm Gonna Maker Her Love Me" is really a blues/R&B workout, "Fire and Brimstone" is a polyrhythmic wonder later covered by the Neville Brothers, "Bayou Country" sounds like a seventies hit like "Brandy" or "Ride Captain Ride," and "I Walk on Gilded Splinters" is profoundly dark and spooky/funky and rivals the Dr. John version. "Piledriver" is an amateurish but really appealing rhythm section behind a hilariously stilted vocal. I roll up my windows when that one comes on. Overall, a fun set that grows on the listener - a time capsule of evolutionary offshoots that reached a dead end, but remain fascinating and hugely entertaining.

4.0 out of 5 stars My Only Criticism Is That It's Not a Box Set September 6, 2012
Format:MP3 Music|Amazon Verified Purchase
Who knew there was such a thing? And I'm a music maniac. You get 16 funky tracks by country artists, all of them genuine and drenched in gritty vocals with a solid groove. This is not some gimmick like when bluegrass bands do the AC/DC catalog. The standout track among a no-miss group is Mac Davis' "Lucas Was a Redneck." If you're primarily familiar with him from pop songs such as "Baby Don't Get Hooked On Me," you best prepare yourself. This album does not disappoint. I'm hoping that a second volume will follow.
