In 2012, Country Funk 1969-1975 (Volume I) 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. These were songs to make your cowboy boots itchy, written and performed by the likes of Bobbie Gentry, Johnny Jenkins and Link Wray. Songs that encompass the elation of gospel with the sexual thrust of the blues; country hoedown harmonies cut with inner city grit. Compiled from tracks dating from the late '60s to the mid '70s, Country Funk is the sound of country music blending with sounds and scenes from coast to coast, white America's heartland music blending with the melting pot as the nation assessed its identity in advance of its bicentennial year.
