Country funk from the ’70s-’80s collected on Light in the Attic comp

“The jeans are tighter, the hair is bigger, and the disco ball spins along to a country-synth beat.”

Light in the Attic is releasing the latest instalment of its Country Funk series, titled Country Funk Volume III (1975-1982), this August.

While the first two volumes focused on the ’60s and ’70s, the third instalment turns collects music from the mid ’70s to early ’80s, “where the jeans are tighter, the hair is bigger, and the disco ball spins along to a country-synth beat.”

The compilation features music from 18 artists including Dolly Parton, J.J. Cale, Gary & Sandy, Larry Jon Wilson, and Tony Joe White.

It follows the label’s release of artist and poet Leslie Winer’s anthology album, When I Hit You — You’ll Feel It.
