Stone Cold Funk

Get into the deepest of grooves

There it is, right here, maybe the best funk compilation I’ve heard! There’s Ann Sexton, the Meters, Ripple, Aaron Neville; it’s all first class funky miracles! My choice tune is “A funky song” from Ripple (1973): listen to how amazingly tight that rhythm section is! No machines here my friend!

Aaron Neville’s “Hercules” is also mindbogglingly excellent; a groove as sultry as can be! Although the style’d be closer to soul than to funk — but what’s the difference? Funk tunes are generally jam-style songs, going for maybe 5-10 minutes, sometimes without even a chord change — like African music. Soul numbers feature a great singer (think Marvin Gaye), and have a more pop “verse/chorus” structure.
