Pure Organic Funk to Bump To !

"I love this group. While a lot of Jazz organists were trying to cross over into the realm of funk and soul, these were soul cats doing the Hammond B-3 thing. All of their albums bumped and grooved - - and Bobby Watley (hope my memory serves me right) could play the heck out of that box. They must have been the Medeski Martin and Wood/Maceo Parker of their time, fusing the Lou Donaldson/Jimmy McGriff sound with funk and groove music. The RA tracks speak for themselves. After this check out The Counts, McGriff, John Patton, Grant Green and The Meters."

A fantastic album, one of the greatest funk/jazz cd's ever

"If your not familiar with Funk Inc. then this is a great place to start. They were a mildly well known band of the early 70's that never made it big. They combine a phenomenal mix of jazz and funk to give you a sound which just makes you move. The sax is a constant and is as uplifting as any, while the synthesizer rocks the whole album. I'd recommend it to anyone."

Just Buy It!

"Not really a Hammond B-3 record as much as a general purpose funk workout by very talented musicians. Every song is good, but particularly so is "Running Away" which became one of my all-time favorite songs of any type the first time I heard it. My two-year old daughter begs me to play this song every night, and I never get sick of it. The musicianship is excellent throughout."
