Straight Up (1975)
The one and only album by Exit 9 — an obscure funk combo who recorded this rare set for Brunswick in 1975! The group is extremely tight instrumentally — working at a very fast funky clip that’s kind of similar to work by Bohannon or Sound Experience — both of whom shared Exit 9?s pre-disco approach to dancefloor grooves — more fast-funk than the tighter club sound of later years, and proof that a funky combo could hit the dancefloor if it had the right groove! Most numbers have vocals, and instrumentation includes lots of nice guitar work that keeps a rawer edge on the tracks — choppy and gritty in a really great way. Tracks include “MFB”, “Miss Funky Fox”, “Fly”, “Julie I Love You”, “Jive Man”, and “Rhapsody in Funk”. (DGA, Inc)
