King Zog Funk

Ages ago, I posted this funk backer in the collabs section.

https://songcrafters.org/community/index.php/topic,23819.0.html

I forgot all about it until I got a twitter message from one of the guys involved in the local BBC Introducing scene. He said he'd heard my stuff on the radio (BBC Tees Introducing Show) & would I be interested in working with him? Cutting a long story short, he asked if I had any unfinished tunes in need of a vocal, and this one popped into my head, I sent it to him & we did a bit of back & forth and came up with this...

King Zog Funk - John Robson & Mandrake Fraser

He came up with a lyric about the Albanian dictator King Zog... no, I have no idea either

Still, it's goos to see the tune go to a good home.

Just got a tweet today from the local BBC radio station & they've made it their track of the week... lots of airplay! WooHoo!

Call me wonky, but the verses sounds like 80's-era Stones in spots. The chorus and bridge sound like nothing I've heard.

Lovely solo as per your usual. Nice arpeggios.
