Stax of Funk Vol 1 - The Funky Truth

During the 60s and 70s, Stax was well known for their work in the soul music field, turning out many artists that we've previously featured on this blog. This is a decent album, as it's an excellent way to enter the world of funk and rare groove, I would heartily recommend it to anyone starting their collection.

Stax Funx

...came across this amazing unreleased compilation of stax hits, most we've never heard of before. Perhaps one of the best Stax comps. Filled with heavy, heavy drumming, blasting horns, and bluesy psychedelic bass.
