│ [ RiPPERS C0MMENT ] ║
│ ║
│ Muscle soul from the house band at Fame Studios, featuring their ║
│ collectable singles and many hot unreleased grooves. Funky and then ║
│ some. ║
│ ║
│ The studio players of 60s soul are now celebrated names to the ║
│ student of pop and R&B. Motown had the Funk Brothers; on the West ║
│ Coast these were the Wrecking Crew years. In Memphis, the Stax and ║
│ American teams are perhaps the most familiar. But among the most ║
│ powerful, and perhaps undersung, of these backroom heroes are the ║
│ doyens of 603 East Avalon Avenue in Muscle Shoals, Alabama: the unit ║
│ known as the Fame Gang. It says something about the degree of respect ║
│ producer-engineer Rick Hall earned over the course of the 1960s that ║
│ he was able to draw not one, not two, but three separate and unique ║
│ sets of musicians to become his instrumental workforce at Fame. ║
│ ║
│ The group best known as the Fame Gang û the 1969-era band that ║
│ principally recorded under that name û were the set of players under ║
│ Rick HallÆs employ that were actually together the shortest time. The ║
│ earlier groupings had done his bidding in exemplary fashion for ║
│ almost eight years, but his didactic ways saw them both quit. With ║
│ the Fame Gang Mk3, Hall accumulated probably the most accommodating ║
│ set of musicians he could have hoped for. Not only did he now have a ║
│ permanent brass section, but they were Nashville-trained, ║
│ jazz-schooled and, significantly, three-quarters black. Drummer ║
│ Freeman Brown had the fatback beat down; in-the-pocket bassist Jesse ║
│ Boyce could equally deliver precision counterpoint. Clayton Ivey ║
│ brought a seasoned yet open-minded approach to the keyboards; Junior ║
│ Lowe kept it soulful on guitar. Last but not least, there was ║
│ producer Mickey Buckins, sprinkling ear candy on the results of the ║
│ comboÆs inspired instrumental improvisations, mostly started during ║
│ warm-ups or at the tail-ends of sessions when the featured vocalist ║
│ had split. ║
│ ║
│ These jams frequently punch all the right buttons: JBs-style horn ║
│ charts or Meters-like syncopation, delivered with the catchiness of ║
│ the MGs and the fluidity of the American Studios crew or the Dixie ║
│ Flyers. But given how much funkier they were than their forerunners, ║
│ Hall preferred to utilise their talents on white pop acts. The ║
│ grooves on a pair of Fame singles, æGrits And GravyÆ and æTurn My ║
│ Chicken LooseÆ, are red hot, but an album of tepid covers issued at ║
│ the time belied the simpatico this special unit had. The fantastic ║
│ outtakes left in the can, as heard for the first time on this ║
│ carefully curated collection, gives us the opportunity to revel in ║
│ the true sound of the Fame Gang. ║
