VA - Dave Hamilton's Detroit Funk Rare And Unreleased Twisted Funk 1967-1975 [2006]

Dave Hamilton’s Detroit Funk: Rare and Unreleased Twisted Funk 1967–1975, released by BGP Records in 2006, uncovers 20 raw and infectious tracks from Detroit’s underground funk scene. Drawing from producer Dave Hamilton’s private stash of master tapes, the compilation delivers hard-edged, lo-fi grooves that mix jazz, soul, and psychedelic funk into a bold Motor City stew.

Standouts like Billy Garner’s “Brand New Girl”, O.C. Tolbert’s “You Got Me Turned Around”, and Johnny Walker’s “Funky Trip” pulse with streetwise swagger, while Hamilton’s own instrumentals “Going to the Moon,” “Pisces Pace,” and “Highland Sound” showcase his restless creativity and knack for offbeat arrangements.

Ranging from unreleased deep cuts to rare singles, the set captures the DIY grit of Detroit’s backroom studios, a world far removed from the polish of Motown. It’s a collector’s dream and a tribute to funk’s raw, unfiltered heartbeat. (B)
