Hawk’s Friday Funk – February 26, 2010

Without question, New Orleans has more great food, fun and funk per capita than most of the rest of the planet.   Gumbo, The Saints, The Meters?  Need I say more?

Check out this lesser known band, The Gaturs, who did some local funkin’ around in the Big Easy back in the early 1970s.  Their 1970 album “Wasted” (you think they partied?) was reissued a few years ago and is a gem of soulful instrumental funk groove, fronted by a fellow named Willie Tee.
