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.
