The second the music started on What's Up Front That Counts, I was enthralled. Detroit's own The Counts offer up an immediately likeable funk album, more so than any album I can think of in the genre. Not necessarily the best funk album, but rather it's funk extract - what I expect all of these albums to sound like, but rarely do. I said something similar about Morgen for the psychedelic genre. What's Up Front That Counts has a groove that just won't quit. No extraneous detours here, this just brings the goods for the grand total of 28 minutes. Yes, it's short, but not a second wasted.
Ownership: CD: 2011 Westbound (Europe). Recent online acquisition (2023). Jewel case with a short history. Also includes a very rare 1978 single. 'Motor City' is very similar to the 1971 album while the flip is more in the soul genre.
