Show 9: The Funk and Blues Tradition
Here the blues gets greasy, rhythmic, and body-forward without losing its bite. The set shows how blues fed into and alongside funk, soul, and groove-based electric music while still hanging on to the same hard truths.
Host Narration
I'm your host, Ol' Mr. Read, and you're listening to the Copacetic Communion Blues Show. Today's broadcast theme is blues that's been bitten by the funk bug, that is, funky blues that's been horned up and brassed up, accompanied by horns and slapping bass to create a sound that'll shake you through and through. Up first, the funkiest man in history, James Brown, will sing some funked-up, funkified blues. Here's "Kansas City."
