Coffey, Dennis - "Evolution"

A landmark LP of guitar-based funk! Dennis Coffey had been playing, arranging, and producing all over the Detroit soul scene by the time this album came out -- so it wasn't like he really needed a hit to get paid or anything -- but the record forever marked him as a guitar player to be reckoned with, and it was a perfect showcase for Coffey's fuzzed-out funky style, instantly recognizable and still extremely popular today! The album contains the monster breakbeat cut "Scorpio" -- kind of a seminal text of hip hop -- plus plenty of other groovers like "Getting It On", "Garden Of The Moon", "Big City Funk", and "Sad Angel". A definite MUST HAVE, RARE GEM for any producer or collector.
