Chicken Lickin' (LP)

Funky organ, hard tenor sax, and plenty of choppy guitar make this another jazz funk gem in the crown of the legendary Funk Inc! The group are still totally at the top of their game here - stepping out with a deep, soulful Indy-bred blend of jazz and funk - a groove that was easily one of the hippest going in the early 70s Prestige Records scene - and that's saying a lot, given the company the label was keeping at the time! The record's got one track that features some nice soulful vocals - the political cut "Let's Make Peace & Stop The War" - but the best cuts are the instrumentals, grooving along hard in the band's best modal funky tradition! Titles include "The Better Half", "Jung Bungo", and "Running Away".
