I love this stuff. Slow tempo downbeat African-American dance rhythms… they’re emphasizing baseline grooves and percussion. I was 1st introduced with Sly & The Family Stone in 1970 ~ it’s one of my most replayed discs of all time. I offer these mostly in backward chron… Sly is last so you gotta wait for it ~ or not, just click the last link. Sly Stone lives on now at 81. There are plenty of white coops/adaptions and revivals ~ all that stuff, and live bands portending, I hunt. Yeah… then some became upbeat. Yoho and I caught a cool CO funk band at Snake in Summit, Phunkifino; really good. That all said, a fav band Lawrence, is really bringing it all back, and Scary Pockets covers & arranges top hits in funk styling with great visiting vocalists & bassists. Anyway... enjoy the fall into funk.
Scary Pockets Covers In Funk Styling… Ryan & Jack simply get the biz and do this keen alt-funk stuff for their grins, 'cause Patreon, Stories, Lizzy, and so much more. Thanks.
