In the late 60s and early 70s, country music underwent a transformation. Young country artists blended the hippie spirit of the 60s into their tunes. Light In The Attic dug through this era and picked out some great tracks. They describe country funk as a genre that defies easy categorization. It combines gospel's elation, blues' sexual energy, country hoedown harmony, and inner - city grit. It can be playful or melancholic, slow - jamming or booty - shaking, and both studio - polished and barroom - raw. This 2LP set, 'Country Funk 1969 - 1975', features music from Dale Hawkins, John Randolph Marr, and many others. It comes in a deluxe Stoughton 'Tip - On' jacket with liner notes and Jess Rotter's illustrations. Music Label: Light In The Attic 2012. Reviewed by Michu Meszaros 08/2012.
