There's less of the western themes on the record than you might guess from Rex's look on the cover – and a fair bit of the album has an ... (Folk/Country) read moreCD

After Fred Wesley and Maceo Parker came head to head with James Brown in the mid 70s, they broke off and formed the Horny Horns contingent – a tight funky backing section that's featured on a number of late 70s funk sessions, and which also recorded some extremely nice numbers on their own! ...
