Where'd You Get Your Funk From? - 20 Greatest Funk Album Debuts of All Time

** PLEASE SUBSCRIBE **
Welcome Where'd You Get Your Funk From? (Episode 21) Jam Fans Forum! This is the second of an ongoing line of episodes in which expert, authoritative panelists provide their top picks in various funk music categories. We are calling this series the Jam Fans Forum. This time around, we are taking on the really fun topic of the 5 Greatest Funk Album Debuts of All Time. 
Joining in are three supremely qualified and distinguished Jam Fans: music & culture journalist and liner notes master A. Scott Galloway (https://ascottgalloway.com); music scholar, author and radio show host Rickey Vincent (https://kpfa.org/program/the-history-of-funk); and soul & funk music historian and producer of the Soul School Television series Calvin Lincoln. Thanks to all of them for keeping the funk alive! 
Panelists' Picks Ground Rules:- Albums must contain minimum three funk tracks or one-third total playing time.- Picks are not shared ahead of time, so everyone experiences the reveals together.- Panelists compile alternates in case someone else names the same pick first. That works out to a total of 20 picks!- Picks may be shared in random, unranked or in non-chronological order. - Picks may be based more on personal preference than historical context.
Each Jam Fan panelist reveals their picks one at a time, explains why and allows others to react. In the interest of time, each pick is limited to about 5 minutes, even though this panel could easily spend an hour on every one of them.

Where'd You Get Your Funk From? - Traffik (Australian Funk Act)

** PLEASE SUBSCRIBE **
Featured in WYGYFF Episode 20: Australian funk singer, composer and producer Traffik, who leads a four-member band of the same name. The group’s recently released album, “The Signs,” is a powerful mix of funk and rock that was 10 years in the making. Traff has also paired up with guitarist/engineer Simon Russell as the duo Eddie Metal, kicking off a series of instrumental recordings. Both are flying under the new Funkoditionalove independent record label banner.
He talks about those projects as well as his profound experiences with George Clinton and members of Parliament-Funkadelic. They inspired him to rename Melbourne as Smellbourne. Dig this tale of finding the funk Down Under. Check out his documentary here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P70juildJwY&list=WL&index=9&t=4s&ab_channel=funkonditionalove.

A common thread, is the show's standard opening question: Where’d you get your funk from?
This is much deeper than it may seem as the answer need not be strictly about funky music, as not everyone has found the funk. It could hit on whatever type of music touches their soul or pleasure centers. Additionally, the question extends beyond music. Paraphrasing George Clinton, funk is whatever it needs to be to get you over the hump. Thus, guests can explain where they got their grit, perseverance, inspiration, talent, creativity, character or other qualities that shaped them into who they are today. This serves as a springboard into candid, in-depth and engrossing conversations.
