Leading up to the foundational Motor City guitarist’s new self-titled solo
album, Detroit’s own House Shoes takes us on a journey through
Dennis Coffey‘s history of funk. Including the psychedelic b-boy soul
of Coffey’s 70’s solo material, classic recordings on which he recorded as
a sessions musician, hip-hop cuts which have sampled his material, and
even a couple of sneak peaks at the new album’s music, Constellations is
45 minutes of straight heat, mixed by a master DJ intimately acquainted
with Coffey’s legacy, and his future.
