Three of the most underrated funksters.
I know You Got Another, Hand Dance, Erotic Groove, The Awakening (the one Les Claypool was trying to pass off as his own work for a minute) - all great pieces of funk.

I had forgotten how funky they used to be until I played "Class". That bass is just funky as hell.

I know you've probably heard "I Know You Got Another". That one was the most popular in my area.

Can't say enough good about these guys.

The run they had with those first 4 albums (80-85).....just PACKED with jams.

Dexter was (is) a hellion on bass.....shame on Les for apin him (and it was for longer than a second, Blaque..ha)

85's "If Looks Could Kill" has some Larry Blackmon production, as well.

The 12's were awesome consistently.....The Reddings don't get mentioned enough in funk circles, IMO. Worthy of their Dad's name & legend in their own right.
