1	Colorblind (2006) more music like this by Robert Randolph & The Family Band Those who became aware of Robert Randolph's considerable musical gifts on either the awesome Live at the Wetlands or on the underrated Unclassified are in for a surprise. Colorblind expands the Robert Randolph & the Family Band's palette -- on tape anyway, they've been doing stuff like this on the stage for years -- stretching out from the blues ... see all copies from $9.74! new only from $12.90!
2	The Budos Band II (2007) more music like this by The Budos Band This Brooklyn-based instrumental collective combines slow-burn Afro-beat rhythms with a '70s soul-jazz aesthetic, the latter sound well-known by those already familiar with the Daptone label's other releases. The retro, almost blaxploitation soundtrack groove pushes the predominantly Afro style into American soul territory. They call it "Afro-soul ... see all copies from $10.32! new only from $13.37!
3	100 Days, 100 Nights (2007) more music like this by Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings Sharon Jones, the big-voiced lead singer of the Dap-Kings -- a band that recently began making its name known outside those enthusiasts of the Daptone label and the reaches of the soul community thanks to appearances with Amy Winehouse and work for Mark Ronson, including a version of Dylan's "Most Likely You Go Your Way (And I'll Go Mine)" -- is ... see all copies from $10.48! new only from $10.48!
4	Naturally (2005) more music like this by Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings Following up her excellent 2002 debut, Sharon Jones stays true to the formula she laid down on her early releases and Dap Dippin' by presenting another session of full-force funk that pays homage to the genre's glory years without coming off as contrived. The deep funk revival continues with Jones belting out commanding vocal performances that are ... see all copies from $9.24! new only from $11.63!
5	Cold Heat: Heavy Funk Rarities 1968-1974, Vol. 1 (2005) more music like this by Various Artists Now-Again Records, run by hip-hop label Stones Throw manager Egon, does release some new material, but it is dedicated to finding and reissuing the music from both obscure and more celebrated funk artists of the 1960s and '70s. 2001's The Funky 16 Corners reintroduced some of the lost names of the genre to the world, and Cold Heat: Heavy Funk ... see all copies from $11.68! new only from $13.92!
6	The Budos Band (2005) more music like this by The Budos Band see all copies from $13.84! new only from $13.84!
7	Back in the Day: The Best of Bootsy (1994) more music like this by Bootsy Collins Can it get any better? If aliens came down needing to know what funk was all about, in all its talented, embrace-anything-and-everything, screw with your head and get your butt down glory, then this is a prime candidate for what to give them. The man, his voice, his bass, the backing of a prime core band including his guitarist brother Catfish, ... see all copies from $3.00! new only from $4.86!
8	Kaboom! (2007) more music like this by The Dynamites/Charles Walker Old-school shouter Charles Walker joins the established eight-piece Nashville based Dynamites and the union is a match made in hard funk heaven. The band is led by guitarist/producer/arranger Leo Black, who also wrote all but one of the songs on this rousing debut. But it's the ghost of James Brown that hangs heavy over this music and if you erase ... see all copies from $2.76! new only from $7.95!
9	Hit the Floor (2005) more music like this by Breakestra A solid serving of contemporary funk at its finest, Breakestra's first outing for Ubiquity moves beyond the classic funk covers of their Live Mix series for a set of all original material, and the results are consistently impressive. Keep in mind that the songs -- roughly half of them instrumental, the rest mostly party-minded jams sung with ample ... see all copies from $12.21! new only from $14.69!
10	Step It Up (2006) more music like this by The Bamboos With their limited-edition 7"s making waves among beat heads and soul connoisseurs around the world, the Bamboos were quickly snapped up by Tru Thoughts in the U.K. and Ubiquity in the U.S. for their debut album. And Step It Up lives up to the hype and then some, as the band is as tight as any modern-day funk ensemble could possibly be. Exorcising ... see all copies from $11.04! new only from $16.00!
11 view cover	James Brown's Funky People, Pt. 2 (1988) more music like this by James Brown The second volume of material compiled from James Brown's People Records label isn't quite as strong as the first, as it reaches for more obscurities -- but those obscurities can be interesting, especially Brown's collaboration with Hank Ballard on "From the Love Side." Again, Brown wrote (or co-wrote), arranged, and produced much of the material, ... see all copies from $6.96! new only from $8.66!
12 view cover	Funky Good Time: The Anthology (1995) more music like this by The J.B. Horns The J.B.'s recorded under various billings in the early '70s, including the J.B.'s, Fred Wesley & the J.B.'s, Maceo & the Macks, the First Family, the Last Word, and others. This double CD gathers 30 of the prime tracks by all of the above configurations from the first half of the '70s, including all nine of their chart hits and quite a few rare ... see all copies from $20.55! new only from $27.16!
13 view cover	Christmas Is 4 Ever (2006) more music like this by Bootsy Collins It should probably come as no surprise that Bootsy Collins completely blows up the concept of what a Christmas album should be on Christmas Is 4 Ever as he deconstructs, reassembles and totally funks up several holiday standards in what might be the best Christmas dance party album ever made. "Jingle Bells," "Winter Wonderland" and "Rudolph the ... see all copies from $10.92! new only from $12.69!
14 view cover	Dap Dippin' with Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings (2002) more music like this by Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings It's hard to believe that Sharon Jones' debut LP is a product of the year 2002, for several reasons. Given the excellent singles she recorded for Desco beginning in the late '90s, it seems like she would have gotten the opportunity for a full-length sooner; plus, her brand of raw, heavy, hard-driving funk is such a throwback to the '70s, and she ... see all copies from $8.80! new only from $11.20!
15 view cover	Sugar's Boogaloo (1998) more music like this by Sugarman Three The Sugarman Three's debut album, Sugar's Boogaloo, is a slice of vintage Blue Note-style soul-jazz, with alto saxophonist Lou Donaldson being perhaps the most obvious touchstone. The music is primarily driven by groove and rhythm, with Neal Sugarman's melodic, R&B-based saxophone providing most of the leads. Sugarman's playing stays solidly ... see all copies from $9.23! new only from $11.86!
16 view cover	Pass the Peas: The Best of the J.B.'s (2000) more music like this by The J.B.'s Pass the Peas: The Best of the J.B.s collects all of the R&B chart hits from James Brown's backing group, including "Gimme Some More," "Damn Right I Am Somebody," and "The Grunt." "Hot Pants Road," "Doing It to Death," "Givin' up Food for Funk," and "(It's Not the Express) It's the J.B.'s Monaurail, Pts. 1 & 2" are some of the other highlights of ... see all copies from $4.22! new only from $8.66!
17 view cover	Pure Cane Sugar (2002) more music like this by Sugarman Three Picking up where their 7" singles left off, Sugarman Three provides 11 memorable, booty-shaking moments on this 2002 release. Although Sugarman Three has received many Jon Spencer comparisons from indie rock circles, Pure Cane Sugar is a slick and soulful slab of raw R&B that carries little of the screaming and noise of Spencer's outfit. Instead, ... see all copies from $8.80! new only from $11.63!
18 view cover	The Funky 16 Corners (2001) more music like this by Various Artists This outstanding collection of funk singles compiled by Stones Throw Records includes 16 songs recorded between 1968 and 1974 by obscure underground groups from America. One of the strongest crossover funk labels of the last decade, Stones Throw pays due respect to modern music's forgotten grandfathers on this most grooving recorded history lesson ... see all copies from $12.44! new only from $14.22!
19 view cover	Soul Explosion (1998) more music like this by Daktaris The Daktaris' 1998 debut, Soul Explosion, is dedicated to the memory of Fela Kuti, who pretty much single-handedly invented Afro-beat. The Daktaris are clearly influenced by Fela's signature style, mixing jazz and funk riffs with the hypnotic rhythms of his native Nigeria, but their groove-oriented music is much more accessible to the novice ... see all copies from $11.86! new only from $11.86!
20 view cover	Deuces Up, Double Down (2001) more music like this by Breakestra The follow-up to their 2000 LP, the Deuces Up, Double Down EP expands upon Breakestra's old-school funk mastery. While their debut displayed the band's proficiency in performing the classic breaks of the genre, these extraordinarily funky five tracks, along with their discography of underground 45s, lay deep into their stark ability to contribute ... see all copies from $4.48! new only from $4.79!
21 view cover	Wildflowers (2004) more music like this by Connie Price & Keystones Those seeking an un-ironic return to the classic days of jazz and funk, played by a group of live musicians who swing and churn with the best of the old-school need look no further than this album by Los Angeles-based Connie Price & the Keystones. Produced (in the traditional sense) by Dan Ubick for Stones Throw's equally old-fashioned off-shoot, ... see all copies from $12.02! new only from $13.59!
22 view cover	James Brown's Original Funky Divas (1998) more music like this by Various Artists Over the decades, James Brown collaborated with, and encouraged, some of funk's leading ladies. During the '60s and early '70s in particular, every Brown show featured a 15- or 20-minute break when he would leave the stage, turning it over to a young female singer who'd perform her own mini set -- an event that became a tradition and an important ... see all copies from $16.49! new only from $31.79!
23 view cover	Would Like to Pose a Question (2003) more music like this by The L.A. Carnival It's another funk exhumation from Now Again/Stones Throw, this time from L.A. Carnival. The Omaha-based funk/soul/whatever crew was named after and revolved mostly around one Lester Abrams, who on Would Like to Pose a Question contributes everything from vocals and percussion to most of the songwriting. It's an album of its age, certainly -- "We ... see all copies from $4.99! new only from $6.99!
24 view cover	Mama Feelgood: The Best of Lyn Collins (2005) more music like this by Lyn Collins see all copies from $5.19! new only from $13.70!
25 view cover	Midwest Funk: Funk 45's from Tornado Alley (2004) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $12.02! new only from $13.41!
