{"product_id":"do-the-funky-chicken","title":"Do the Funky Chicken","description":"Audio Remasterer: Joe Tarantino.\u003cbr\u003eLiner Note Author: Rob Bowman.\u003cbr\u003ePhotographer: Joel Brodsky.\u003cbr\u003eArrangers: Andrew Love; Rufus Thomas; Wayne Jackson .\u003cbr\u003eRufus Thomas' first album following Stax's break from the Atlantic had \"Do the Funky Chicken\" as its centerpiece, so the emphasis upon good-humored dance tunes was unsurprising. There were some weird moments, particularly the down-and-bestial seven-minute update of \"Sixty Minute Man\" (on which Rufus sounds like he's singing in tongues), a remake of \"Bear Cat,\" and a two-part version of \"Old McDonald Had a Farm.\" Still, the slightly goofy uptempo arrangements can get a little tiresome, and since his best hits from the period are better than the album-only tracks, almost everyone should just stick with a compilation. Some editions add seven bonus tracks from 1968-1974 singles, which are OK but not essential; Eddie Floyd's \"Funky Mississippi\" (from 1968) is about the best. ~ Richie Unterberger","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45967986262303,"sku":"888072331785","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/025c5697be1fe40ae492ee8c9561fc49.jpg?v=1777738382","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/do-the-funky-chicken","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
