Nigel Gatherer's The Scottish Mandolin. 20 Best Funk Albums of 2016. Here it is!

20 Best Funk Albums of 2016

2016’s best funk albums! This year was insanely tough. There weren’t a lot of true funk releases, but we hear that 2017 has some great funk coming down the pike including a new album from both George Clinton and Parliament. But without retyping the same things we always say, here’s our pre-ramble. It’s GREATLY IMPORTANT that you realize that your favorite 2016 funk album might not be here because a) we only pick 20, b) it may not have been released in 2016, and c) we may not have even heard of it. You can check out the posts from previous years like 2014 and 2015 and also enjoy tons more selections in those comment sections. Again, they are not numbered since they are all funky and created equal in their funkiness. Check out the playlist of these bands on Spotify! Childish Gambino – “Awaken, My Love!” We love it when we are sideswiped by an album and Donald Glover‘s new Childish Gambino was just the distraction we weren’t expecting or even thought that we needed.

Oklahoma - Oh What A Beautiful Mornin Chords (ver 2) by Misc Soundtrack. Greatest Stories Ever Told - "Terrapin Station" By David Dodd Here’s the plan—each week, I will blog about a different song, focusing, usually, on the lyrics, but also on some other aspects of the song, including its overall impact—a truly subjective thing.

Greatest Stories Ever Told - "Terrapin Station"

Therefore, the best part, I would hope, would not be anything in particular that I might have to say, but rather, the conversation that may happen via the comments over the course of time—and since all the posts will stay up, you can feel free to weigh in any time on any of the songs! With Grateful Dead lyrics, there’s always a new and different take on what they bring up for each listener, it seems. (I’ll consider requests for particular songs—just private message me!) "Terrapin Station" Hank Williams Jr - Country Boy Can Survive Tabs, Chords.

The Modal Basis of the Grateful Dead’s Jams and Songs. In rock history the Grateful Dead pioneered long, probing, and psychedelically oriented improvisational jams, best represented by their song “Dark Star.”

The Modal Basis of the Grateful Dead’s Jams and Songs

However, most of these jams were not free form but actually highly organized musical structures, and followed the lines of exposition found in modal jazz of the late 1950s and 1960s, especially Miles Davis, John Coltrane (names well known to Deadheads) and their followers. Davis’s most famous modal composition is “So What” (referenced by the Dead once in 1988, click here for example), which is based on the D Dorian mode, or D-E-F-G-A-B (natural, instead of flat as it is in minor)-C. In each of the modes there is usually at least one defining note that imparts the unique sonic flavor to the mode. In the case of the Dorian it is the raised sixth note, B, producing the interval of a major sixth when heard against the tonic note, D. Stay tuned for more modal and harmonic analysis of these and other songs. Artists - CounterPoint. 25 Spiritually Inspired Conscious DJ’s & Producers You Should Be Listening To.
