Jessi Colter is a Country/Rock artist who was pretty popular during the mid 70′s. She had a few hits and had duets with her country singer husband, Waylon Jennings. As with most country albums, this is pretty weak. However, there is a dope drum break on the cut “Come On In“. Capitol records (red label) has been very good to me over the years in terms of drum breaks. As a rule of thumb, I always try to pick up a few.

Hot Dogs
I usually don’t dig for 45′s (who wants to pay $5 for 2 songs when you can pay $3 for a whole LP!?) however, I saw the record lable Sussex and decided to pick up. Sussex was home to artists like Zulema and Dennis Coffey so I figured it was worth a shot.
The A-side Some Kind of a Summer is pretty cheesy, but when I flipped to the b-side Hot Dog, I was shocked by a super funky, guitar and organ driven tune. I looked a little closer at the 45 and noticed the single was produced and arranged by Mike Theodore and Dennis Coffey so it had to be funky. There is also a crazy drum break towards the end.

More Funky Christian Breaks
Another funky drum break by some great church-going musicians. The Up With People are a group of like 50 musicians from all over the world (as the back sleeve states). The overall album is pretty funky but “Man’s Gotta Go Somewhere” is the standout track with a dope drum break in the intro. Not sure if this is a true “Gospel” or general “Christian” album, as it’s on Pace records (division of Buddah). But hillarious songs like “What Color Is God’s Skin?” make me think so.
