Description

“Country Funk” is a genre created not from geography or shared ideology but a term applied retrospectively based solely on the feel of the songs: hip-swinging rhythms with bourbon on the breath. These are songs to make your cowboy boots itchy, songs that encompass the elation of gospel with the sexual thrust of the blues blended with country hoedown harmonies cut with inner city grit.

Following 2012’s, Country Funk Volume I: 1969-1975 (8.4 – Pitchfork; Best Reissue of 2012 – Spin), Country Funk Volume II mines tracks from the same period including household names like Willie Nelson, Townes Van Zandt, and JJ Cale to more obscure artists like Bill Wilson and Thomas Jefferson Kaye, among others.
