Funk from Texas is one of the most popular styles in the genre. It is a unique blend of jazz, blues, R&B and James Brown-influenced syncopation that has evolved in cities such as Houston (Kashmere Stage Band), San Antonio (Mickey and the Soul Generation), Austin (James Polk and the Brothers) and Dallas. In Dallas a number of labels were created, including Soultex and Doin Our Thing, but nobody created a run on 7"s like Timothy McNealy with his Shawn label. However, his music has never before been collected on an album. Now Alapatt's renowned Now-Again label Eothen "Egon" finally releases a collection of the coveted songs on Eothen "Egon".
