There are hints of psychedelic and rock influences in the languid, organ and guitar jams contained in The Counts’ 1971 debut album but with the layers of heavy-duty polyrhythmic Latin percussion and funky drums, there’s no mistaking that this is a superior early 70s funk album. The Detroit band produced the album themselves and each musical part is carefully played and placed in an intermeshing, well oiled musical machine. Every track here is good but the chugging funk of the nearly-eight minute title tune, with its strange jazz-not-jazz horn riff and long drawn out vamps, is particularly strong.
