[Friday Oldies] Fugi – Mary, Don’t Take Me On No Bad Trip (1968)

Fuzzed out funk from the legendary Fugi! The groove is incredibly sinister — a blend of Detroit funk (ala The Counts, Funkadelic, and others in the Westbound crew), and some of the more guitar-based influence from the Hendrix soul generation (especially the styles that were beginning to show up on the Bar-Kays albums at the time!) Fugi have a groove that’s gotta be heard to be believed — hard, heavy, and filled with soul — dipping down down down into the dirt on the bass, and riffing up to the top again on a wave of heavy guitars! 6 tracks in all — the complete Chess recordings by Fugi — and titles include “Mary Don’t Take Me On No Bad Trip”, “Revelations”, “Jo Jo”, “Save A Little”, and “I’d Rather Be A Blind Man”
