Greetings all<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

The middle of the week is upon us, and in furtherance of our collective Sisyphean journey, I thought we might endeavor to roll that rock up the hill with style.<\/p>\n

We do so with a very tasty bit of Motor City instrumental groove, courtesy of Detroit City Limits.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Though I haven\u2019t seen a definitive listing for who played on the album (released by Okeh in 1968), it is certainly the work of various and sundry Funk Brothers<\/strong>, some of whom (Messrs Johnny Griffith, Jack Ashford<\/strong> and Mighty Mike Terry<\/strong>) are credited directly.<\/p>\n

The album is a collection of mostly contemporary cover material (Marvin and Tammi, Intruders, Delfonics, Martha and the Vandellas, Sly and the Family Stone<\/strong>), but there are a couple of extremely nice originals as well.<\/p>\n

One of those is the track we gather to groove on today, \u201998 Cents Plus Tax\u2019 (composed by Johnny Griffith).<\/p>\n

If memory serves, I was hipped to this cut originally on a mix tape passed on to me some years ago, failed in my initial attempts to track down the record, and filed it in the dusty back rooms of my memory.<\/p>\n

That was until the LP popped up in a friend\u2019s sales list, the old memory was jogged and for the low, low price of a single ten-dollar bill, the record she was mine.<\/p>\n

The 45 of \u201998 Cents\u2026\u2019 trades hands for heavy money, but as always (almost always, anyway) I\u2019m happier with the LP since I get all of that extra music.<\/p>\n

The tune is a hard-charging, organ driven burner with some heavy drums as well. Dig the way the tremeloed guitar plays in synch with the organ, It makes for a very meaty sound indeed!<\/p>\n

Use this one to light up the dance floor of your choice, and I\u2019ll see you all on Friday.<\/p>\n

Keep the faith<\/strong><\/p>\n
