Minipost: Wheedle’s Groove, Seattle funk and soul from the 60s and 70s
May 9, 2011
My ole buddy Jorge sent this one my way while I was on the road a couple of weeks ago. Perfect timing too since I was bedridden in Bristol with a cold while my bandmates were out having fun. I watched this entire documentary about the Seattle funk and soul scene of the 60s and 70s when it was up on Pitchfork TV. Here’s the trailer:
The music (which can be purchased here) is bursting with vibrant energy, the analog recording quality so alive and warm, and the film is a great window into a powerful and influential musical scene that has all but been buried away by grunge and its subsequent spinoffs.
Here’s track one:
