Good God! A Gospel Funk Hymnal
in 2006, the label's intrepid detective team decided to further explore the connection between the music of the church and the music of the street; what they unearth here is mind-blowing. Many of the records collected on the 18-track
Good God! Born Again Funk
, though no less inspired and devoted to the divine, were also originally recorded with an ear toward what else was happening in black music on the radio and in clubs between 1969 and the mid-'80s. A classic example is the 1971
"Like a Ship"
by Mount Zion Church
Pastor T.L. Barrett & Youth for Christ Choir
. (The church held among its membership at various times
Maurice White
,
Donny Hathaway
, and
Phil Cohran
) Beginning with a gritty Rhodes piano and a deep funk bassline, the
Young Voices
guided by
Barrett
were aided in production by
Chess Records
'
Gene Barge
and
Richard Evans
(it's his bass on the track) with guitarist
Phil Upchurch
! Another highlight is the following cut,
"I'm Drunk & Real High (On God),"
by Detroit beautician and spirit-filled gospel singer
Ada Richards
, with
Ray Charles
-styled piano line, blues-drenched guitar line, and
Fortune Record
-influenced drum breaks from 1970, it's all killer, no filler.
"Packing a Grip"
by the
Golden Echoes
contains a bassline worthy of post-punk group
E.S.T.
! Dig the funky clavinet and rubbery bassline on
"Pray a Little Longer"
by
Lucy "Soul Sister" Rodgers
from 1976. The
James Brown
-esque breakdown on 1975's
"Somebody's Watching You"
Sacred Four
is backbone-slipping infectious.
The Jordan Travelers
"God Will Answer"
from 1976 pairs five-part harmony, wah-wah guitar and a bassline
Bootsy Collins
would rubberize. The sound quality on this volume is generally better than its predecessor due to higher-quality recording facilities and more advanced production techniques, but none of this music is slick. It's raw, inspired, and full of invention. This makes an excellent complement to the first volume in the series, but is essential for any fan of funk all on its own. ~ Thom Jurek
