Double vinyl LP pressing. 2014 collection. In 2012, COUNTRY FUNK 1969-75 gathered together songs from a genre with no name. It's 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. Light in the Attic has followed up that first 16-track disc with a second volume, COUNTRY FUNK VOLUME II: 1967-74, and a new set of loose-talking, lap steel-twanging tracks. On this volume you'll find household names like Willie Nelson, Townes Van Zandt, Kenny Rogers, Jackie DeShannon, JJ Cale, Bobby Darin and Dolly Parton. You'll also find obscure artists like Bill Wilson, whose lost album was produced by the feted Dylan producer Bob Johnston, and Thomas Jefferson Kaye, noted producer of Gene Clark's opus No Other. Gene Clark's here too, as half of Dillard & Clark, wringing raw emotion from the Beatles' 'Don't Let Me Down'. Billy Swan - Don't Be Cruel, Bob Darin - Me and Mr. Hohner, Hoyt Axton - California Women, Townes Van Zandt - Hunger Child Blues, Thomas Jefferson Kaye - Collection Box, Willie Nelson - Shotgun Willie, Jackie Deshannon - the Weight, Gene Clark ; Doug Dillard - Don't Let Me Down, Bill Wilson - Pay Day Give Away, Dolly Parton - Getting Happy, Larry Williams ; Johnny Watson with the Kaleidoscope - Nobody, Jim Ford - Rising Sign, JJ Cale - Cajun Moon, Donnie Fritts - Sumpin Funky Going on, Kenny Rogers ; the First Edition - Tulsa Turnaround, Great Speckled Bird - Long Long Time to Get Old, Willis Alan Ramsey - Northeast Texas Women
