JAMES POLK comes from one of the most musical of American cities: Austin, Texas. There was and still is stiff competition amongst the numerous bands and musicians in the town, and in 1969 James Polk managed to rustle up some of Austin's finest to create his band The Brothers. Good enough for James Brown himself to ask them to open for him, they promptly won the local talent contest 2 years in a row! Polk then knew it was time to commit his sound to wax. In the spirit of many other funk 45s, Polk bypassed the local and major record labels to release his music on his own label, Twink Records. Polk released two singles on Twink, and this is the best track from each forming this extra super heavy funk double-sided single. It'll take you a long, long time and a fat wallet to collect the originals - check it out! 'Power Struggle' is an uptempo stormer with Polk on organ and bass, Yvonne Joseph's wailing vocals making her point known. 'Just Plain Funk' is a loping head-nodding deep funk groove that'll leave you looking to the sky craving an explanation as to why this fantastic band didn't record more like this.
