Continuing in the Funk vain, this album has been keeping us going in the office today. If your the kind of person who likes ballsy Country & Blues accompanied with a few whiskies, then this is for you. Every song is carefully placed, with much time put into the smooth flow of the running order, resulting in a steadily rising tempo, perfect to accompany those whiskies. The compilation manages to create a new genre out of a combination of varying artists, who all, whilst stylistically different, must have been on similar wave lengths when writing these songs. As the good folks at Light in Attic Records say :
"The Style encompasses the elation of gospel with the sexual thrust of the blues, country hoedown harmony with inner city grit. It is alternately playful and melancholic, slow jammin' and booty shakin'. It is both and barroom raw. And whilst these all may seem unlikely combinations at first glance, upon close listen, it all makes sweet sense."
Well they are right about their creation. If one has to pick a track to illustrate why this album is a great listen, no easy feat, then maybe 'Lucas Was A Redneck' by Mac Davis is the one:
