"Amos Moses""When You're Hot, You're Hot""Alabama Wild Man""Ko-Ko Joe""Tupelo, Mississippi Flash"
...but you gotta watch it with Jerry, because he wasn't doing country-funk all the time. When he wasn't doing the Tony Joe White thing, he was going the cornball Glen Campbell route.

"Ah, And We Do it Like This," 1990: they even talk about "our country sound that makes ya get down" in it. But Jon Caramanica (who has never heard the song) tells me he suspects this may be an entirely different Onyx than the ones who kinda sorta invented crunk a few years later (even though their song "Throw Ya Gunz" had a line that went "Ha, ha hah hah, AND WE DO IT LIKE THIS.")
And now, sorry, but I must say: Hot Apple Pie, "Hillbilly."

On the subject of country soul (and maybe even country funk, which this thread started out as): OC Smith, OV Wright, OB McClinton. Stoney Edwards. Lionel Richie. With and without his Commodores.
#1 and #2 albums on the country charts this week are by Dierks Bentley and Van Zant by the way. Both of which have tracks I'd have no problem slipping in between a couple disco records in a DJ set.

One interesting story I heard about the BW Goes C&W album is that Womack wanted to call it Move Aside, Charley Pride, and Give Another Nigger a Try but United Artists wouldn't let him.
Barney Hoskyns, in Say it One Time for the Broken Hearted, says BW wanted to call the record Black in the Saddle

Deadly Nightshade, F&W, 1976 -- three-woman band; haven't played this yet, but the title apparently means "Funky & Western," so hopefully this will qualify....(They're folkies, but the Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman song is supposedly disco!)

Interestingly, that's exactly what Cowboy Troy called his (not very good) second album, hmmm...

There's a short instrumental on the Muskrats first album called "Funky Country." It is, kinda.
― ian, Saturday, 21 June 2008 16:53 (fifteen years ago) link
Deadly Nightshade aren't! From Buy That For A Dollar thread: mind-boggingly shitty so far; not all that funky or western -- and closer to show-tuney than folky, despite the discofied program music of the Mary Hartman theme (which may or may not be a cover); covering "Dancing in the Streets" is entirely pointless, maybe not worse than Bowie/ Jagger but definitely a lot worse than Van Halen's.

i never realized that Area Code 615's "Stone Fox Chase" was sampled by Bubba Sparxxx until right now. i don't have the album that one's on, but i do have the first one. i pulled it out again recently and it's pretty funky. here's Southern Comfort

This Eli "Paperboy" Reed tribute album to Mearle Haggard, "Down Every Road" is pretty damn funky, like a 60s Soul James Brown kinda funk.

Clover's 1977 album Unavailable
Okay in truth its quite horrid session/muso MOR but it has a great Barney Bubbles sleeve
― you can see me from westbury white horse, Wednesday, 13 July 2022 08:54 (one year ago) link
Oh yeah---this wiki is flagged as unverified, but have seen references along the same lines elsewhere, also most of these guys did get credits, except the ones who backed EC, but several things about his debut have mentioned Clover:
Clover was an American country rock band formed in Mill Valley, California, United States and active from 1967 to 1978.[1] Clover are best known as the backing band for Elvis Costello's 1977 debut album My Aim Is True (recorded in the UK), and for its members going into greater success with Huey Lewis and the News, The Doobie Brothers, Toto, and Lucinda Williams...McFee, Ciambotti, Hopper and Shine (but not Louis or Call) backed Elvis Costello on his debut album My Aim Is True.[1] These musicians were not credited on the release for contractual reasons; some contemporary publicity for the album identified Costello's backing band as "The Shamrocks."

Today I listened to Bobby Darin's "Commitment" (1969), released credited to Bob Darin, Scott Engel-style. Quite a few tracks there are sorta country funk, not what you'd expect from Darin at all. Any fans here?
