Who do you turn to when you have the envies for funk?

@winoguy17 - James Hunter is great, live. We saw him many times at the Turning Point in Piermont. He did come to Austin once--I think of him as a blue-eyed soul guy from the Van Morrison school, mixed with old school rock and roll.

Marc Broussard is a killer - a bayou swamp rocker, puts on a great show. Never hunted for his recordings. We usually see him live at a small venue in Austin. 

@whart Mark Broussard is from Carencro La. which is about 15 miles north of Lafayette and if you were to have one album by him let it be SOS, save our soul II, soul on a mission where he covers everyone from Solomon Burke/Cry to Me to Wilson Picket. Enjoy the music

Ohio Players, “Skin Tight” and “Fire” on Friday Records, 180g audiophile* pressings

Zapp and Roger, “All of the Greatest Hits”

The new Bootsy Collins, “Album of the Year Funketeer” is a ripper and sounds funkier than a porta potty.

The Motet, “Totem” 

Marcus Miller “Laid Black” 45rpm

These are a few of the nicer sounding funk albums that I have purchased lately.

@tooblue - cool, thanks. I used to be a fan of Solomon Burke in NY. He was accessible, we could hear him pretty easily. Roll ’n stutter. Had funeral parlors. And sold fried chicken during his shows back in the day during intermission. Guy was a classic. I think he actually had a clause in his contract at the Apollo, or legend has it, that gave him concessionaire rights during his shows. :)

I may have missed it in the lists provided - but I have to add The Isley Brothers - several albums but definitely Go For Your Guns.....  Bass is often a large part of FUNK, but the Guitar work by the Isleys is legendary.
