Funk Brothers guitar legend Dennis Coffey has released two of the best tracks from his new album on a single. Mayer Hawthorne is enlisted for a cover of The Parliaments’ All Your Goodies Are Gone (it’s pretty faithful to the original, but that’s Hawthorne’s shtick; and Coffey did play on The Parliaments’ previous single in 1967, (I Wanna) Testify, so he knows the score).
Kings Go Forth – funk’s finest contemporary band – share writing duties with Coffey on Miss Millie, so you’ve got psychedelic soul, breakbeats, driving Hammond organ, and blaring horns the sweet side of sweaty.
Just found you via Kings Go Forth. Great blog so far. I will be back often!
