Title: Funk By The Pound
Review: But don't buy it by the pound. The same album entitled "Midwest Funk" on the Jazzman label is available at the US dollars price of 15.99.Anyhow, for some reason "The Funky 16 Corners" Stones Throw(?) album got great pub, great distribution and a large following. This album, while not saying much in funk compilation terms, is much tighter than the aforementioned 16 Corners. For one thing, it doesn't have any contemporary acts mixing in on the funk. For 2nd and 3rd things, the songs "Let's Do it Today" by The Us and "A Day in the Life" by Chocolate Snow make this a solid funk buy without much further ado - plus it's got great liner notes.A super rare James Brown era funk trip through the midwest all on one album is saying something.
Is the review positive or negative?
