No mention of George Clinton and the P-Funk All Stars? Alas, I am a shade of disheartened. Ooh, that would be a great name for a band. Dave and the Shades of Disheartened. We’d play a bunch of Leonard Cohen covers.

It was never George Clinton and the P-Funk All Stars. It was just Parliment and Funkadelic. Then colloquially it became George Clinton and the P-Funk All Stars. They've never issued an album as such.

What a fun article! And skipping to a current favorite: Daniel Donato and Cosmic Country. A psychedelic country band from Nashville, these guys play 200+ shows a year cross country. Each of the three backing musicians plays multiple instruments and sing well enough to lead on a number of tunes. Highly recommend catching a show!

Bruce Hornsby is touring. His band now is called the Noisemakers.
