Rare-funk compilation on Peanut Butter Wolf's mighty Stones Throw imprint !! A glimpse into the lives and music of 16 unsung heroes of the late 60s and early 70s funk revolution from each corner of the United States.

Rare-funk compilation on Peanut Butter Wolf's mighty Stones Throw imprint !! Stones Throw Records presents a glimpse into the lives and music of 16 unsung heroes of the late 60s and early 70s funk revolution from each corner of the United States. These are musicians that strove to achieve the success of The Meters and James Brown, musicians that played their instruments with a gut-wrenching power unheard in modern music, musicians that testified on wax and have resurfaced some thirty years after disappearing from the music scene. The intensity of their recordings has not lost one ounce of soul with the time passed. Now, finally, the largely researched 'The Funky 16 Corners' album stands as an historical document to this era in American music.
Given the extensive research that went into producing this compilation, label owner Peanut Butter Wolf had to omit some great stories and artwork from the 16-page CD booklet and gatefold LP. Now, given the limitless space of the world wide web, Stones Throw presents long-form interviews, record scans and pictures of every member of The Funky 16 Corners compilation that the label could track down. Dive into an amazing American musical era when songs thrived on rhythm - when independent musicians financed their own insightful ventures and succeeded in producing slept-on masterpieces. Tip !!!!
