Sly & the Family Stone – Fresh - New LP

Sly & The Family Stone – Fresh LP.

Following up the much different There’s A Riot Goin’ On LP (which was different than the albums previous), Sly and the band offered up this album to continue their reign…unlike so many bands of the 1960s, Sly and the Family Stone fitting in perfectly with the world of the 1970s—the world they so clearly played a huge part creating. The baton was already being passed to bands across the land, but Sly wasn’t done yet, this album (and the ones before) inspiring countless, singles from this set blasting from the transistors and rising up the charts. Another funk essential from Sly...who mastered keyboards 🎹, guitar 🎸, bass and 🥁 drums while still in elementary school…from Denton, Texas...to SF...to the world...and now this album landing right smack on the Green Noise webstore five decades later! Fifty years ago, the antennas were yanked out high to catch the waves, and the 8-track decks and transistor radios were crackling with the sounds of Fresh. Still sounding fresh all these years later. — winch

“Stripped down and funky beyond words, 1973’s Fresh is quite simply the last great album by Sly & the Family Stone. Funkadelic guru George Clinton, a man who knows something about genre cross-wiring, tabbed Fresh as one of his all-time favorites. Jazz icon Miles Davis reportedly sat his band down to soak up inspiration from multiple playings of Fresh.”
