Chuck Womack's "Ham Hocks & Beans" is as incredibly funky as it is rare. It's so rare in fact, that some of the most hardcore of funk 45 collectors in the world had not even heard of the track when pressed about it. The tracks made it's way to Dis-Joint via a friend & fellow soul aficionado Justin Torres, who found the original acetate at one of his usual flea market outings. Upon Listening to it, none of us could believe what he had stumbled upon. It's like a version of King Curtis' funk classic "Memphis Soul Stew", but with heavier drums and much funkier bass. Because of it's obscurity and undeniably quality, we were convinced that the track was unreleased. Not so, according to Chuck Womack himself, now a resident of Arizona. It was released in 1971, but in very limited numbers. He is happy to see his funky gem see thr light again some thirty plus years later, and the Dis-Joint crew is happy to share it with the rest of the world. |
