Hip-Hop And Electronic Music Fans Have Long Sought His Seminal Recordings For Sussex And His Voluminous Session Dates. His Appearance In The 2002 Film Standin' In The Shadows Of Motown, His Autobiography Guitars, Bars And Motown Superstars, And Three Different Late-2000s Compilations Re-Upped His Profile. Dennis Coffey, The Guitarist's Debut For Strut, Places His Guitar Front And Center In A Multi-Generational Group Of Musicians From Detroit And Elsewhere. Coffey Lays His Trademark Psychedelic Soul Wah-Wah-And-Fuzz Guitar To 11 Tracks. Some New; Others Being New Versions Of Legendary Jams He Played On.” All Music Guide - Thom Jurek

Evolution
New - Vinyl - SXBS 7004
Sealed 1971 Original With Rare Custom "Scorpio" Sticker On The Shrink Wrap. “Dennis Coffey's Sussex Label Debut Remains His Most Consistent And Rewarding LP, Not To Mention His Most Commercially Successful. Evolution Delivers Precisely What Its Title Promises, Spotlighting Coffey's Growth As A Guitarist And As A Composer. Its Infectious Centerpiece "Scorpio" Reached The R&B Top Ten, Buoyed By Coffey's Ear-Grabbing Guitar Intro And A Hall Of Fame Drum Break That Is The Source For An Endless Number Of Samples. The Leadoff Cut, "Getting It On," Has Proven No Less Fecund, Its Opening Guitars And Andrew Smith's Drums Bit Off By Both The Beastie Boys And Public Enemy. But Evolution Also Charts The Development Of Coffey's Skills As An Arranger, Cherry-Picking Elements Of Rock, Funk, And Soul To Create A Unique Sound Not Too Far Removed From Jazz Fusion. Somehow He Even Transforms Led Zeppelin's Blues-Rock Behemoth "Whole Lotta Love" Into A Vacuum-Packed Funk Groove.” Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide.

Finger Pickin Good
New - Vinyl - W-212
Sealed 2024 red hot vinyl pressing. First reissue from original master tapes. Released in 1976 on the Westbound label, "Finger Pickin’ Good" showcases Detroit guitarist Dennis Coffey’s signature blend of funk, soul, and jazz influences. Known for his innovative work as a session musician with Motown’s Funk Brothers, Coffey brought his distinctive wah-wah, fuzz-toned guitar and rhythmic inventiveness to this solo effort. The album features a mix of original compositions and covers, including lively renditions of standards like “If You Can’t Dance to This” and groove-laden tracks such as “Free Spirit.” Backed by a tight ensemble featuring bass, organ, and horns, Coffey’s playing is both technically impressive and deeply soulful, highlighting his ability to combine pop sensibilities with jazz improvisation. The production captures the gritty yet polished sound characteristic of mid-1970s Detroit funk, making the record a testament to Coffey’s versatility and influence on the genre. For vinyl collectors and music enthusiasts, "Finger Pickin’ Good" stands as a prime example of instrumental funk guitar, carrying forward the legacy of Coffey’s earlier work on hits like “Scorpio” while exploring new stylistic ground. The album’s dynamic arrangements and organic grooves make it a rewarding listen, whether you’re a longtime funk aficionado or discovering Dennis Coffey’s artistry for the first time.
