“Craig’s all-time Funky Forty album countdown continues…..and at number 35 it’s Prince with 1999. It was Prince’s fifth studio album, the first to feature his band the Revolution and could possibly be one of the biggest pop albums of all time. We’ll be sharing some of the big numbers and also digging into some of the less well know grooves.”

“Craig’s forty funky album countdown reaches number 36 with Funkadelic’s album Maggot Brain. The title track is in Rolling Stone magazine list of 100 greatest guitar songs but they describe the album as ‘a collection of competently performed but uninteresting and lyrically-thin funk songs’. We will let the 6 Music listener decide.”

“Craig’s forty funky album countdown continues and at number 37, it’s Sharon Jones with Naturally. It’s a sharp contrast to her gritty debut album ‘Dap-Dippin’ as Sharon takes the follow up to the next level. The Woody Guthrie penned “This Land is Your Land”, was featured in the Academy award nominated motion picture, Up in the Air.”

“Craig counts down his Forty Funky albums and at number 38 it’s Charles Bradley with No Time For Dreaming. Before Charles Bradley put out music under his own name, he worked as a James Brown impersonator or as he would say a James Brown duplicator. But in 2011 he was spotted by the Daptone record label and given the opportunity to record under his own name. He recorded 14 tracks which told the story of his childhood, to the days of homelessness and heartache which formed the album ‘No Time For Dreaming’.”

“Craig continues to countdown his Top 40 funky albums. And as the numbers get smaller, the hits get bigger. Number 39 is from the female preacher, Lyn Collins and her debut album ‘Think (About It)’. The title track which was written and produced by James Brown, has been sampled more than 2000 times. It’s a quality and very funky album, that has just 9 tracks and a running time of 30 minutes.”

“Throughout 2020 Craig will be taking us through his forty favourite funky albums and playing some of the key tracks from them. Craig will also be digging into some of the less well-known grooves on the album, that weren’t released as singles. We’ll be hearing archive from the artists and those that worked with them. We start off this week with Clarence Carter’s second album Testifyin’ which he put out in 1969. Clarence is still recording and releasing music and this year put out a new album called Mr. Old School.”

“Craig welcomes to the studio two thirds of a song-writing team that helped define the Motown Sound of the 1960’s. At the end of last year they released a new book The Story of Holland-Dozier-Holland, Motown’s Incomparable Songwriters. My guests are Eddie and Brian Holland.
Holland Dozier Holland wrote so many songs that made and built careers, so at 8pm I’ll squeeze as many of those tracks into The Trunk of Funk”
