danasgoodstuff Posted April 1, 2009 Report Posted April 1, 2009 I have this out from Mult Co Library (we're #1!) and have mixed feelings at best. It's obviously a labour of love, and it's worth documenting Funk as a ground up populist phenomena...BUT I feel like I'm listening to the same poor excuse for a song over and over, and this from someone who loves early Stax where the songwriting wasn't exactly stellar either. Something about Funk as a genre (as opposed to a quality all music should have) seems reified in a particularly bad way to me, although I feel pretty much the same and more about Metal and many other genres qua genres... Bottom line is I think I'd rather have just Rhino's History of Funk Vol 1/2 (one half), the Roots of Funk, and call it good. Quote
