Various Artists- Stax of Funk 2: More Funky Truth / Various
(2-LP set) Here are another 21 high quality slabs of Stax funk. Although BGP brings in some of the biggest names on the label - the Staple Singers, Rufus Thomas - with the unreleased monster "Doin' The Side Saddle" - and Albert King, this album is about the rare and the funky. These are mainly hard-to-find 45 tracks that cross the range from hard heavy funk to female shouters to proto-disco. Some of these have been sampled, including Stu Gardner's "Devil In A Man" (by DJ Shadow), but most are just great funk. Features Calvin Scott, Bar Kays, Jimmy McCracklin, Inez Foxx, Wrecking Crew, Sweet Inspirations, Sir Mack Rice, Lee Sain & many others.
