If You Like Funk: Check Out Vulfpeck
Last night I listened to Cold Blood's Sisyphus album (1970). It contains "Your Good Thing (Is About to End)", a song written by Isaac Hayes and David Porter, and made into a Top 20 Billboard hit in 1969 by Lou Rawls, although first recorded by Mable John in 1966. Others have covered it too. If you're interested in some different takes on this song (funk/soul/blues) see below: Cold Blood https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3-21dGLEEE Etta James https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxrPG5jYxec Bonnie Raitt https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ac226K5Bqo IMO they all work pretty well. |
Some exciting new bands listed here. I enjoy funk from EWF to many jazz artists. Here are a few of my favorites; Eric Lindell- Change in the Weather- This NOLA guy is awesome. Papa Grows Funk- just pick an album. I prefer the live ones. Greyboy Allstars- Live- is my favorite. Karl Denson, the sax player who fronts these guys, has several solo albums out with his Tiny Universe band. I saw them a couple of months ago doing Allman Bros. covers and it was fantastic. He plays with the Stones as well. |
Chazro’s mention of Maceo Parker made me think of this. Check out drummer Kenwood Dennard! https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFEE0078A61BE5C06 |
