Description:

Released on Brunswick Records in 1970, this double-sider from Joe Johnson is a hard-charging funk rarity loaded with attitude and groove. “Rattlesnake Baby Rattlesnake” opens with a sharp drum break and slithering guitar line, building into a tough, syncopated rhythm section topped by Johnson’s gritty vocal delivery. It’s raw, propulsive funk that feels tailor-made for the dance floor.

The flip, “Gold Digging Man,” keeps the energy high — punchy horns, deep pocket bass, and lyrics that fuse social observation with classic soul storytelling. Together, the two sides stand as a perfect example of late-’60s/early-’70s funk’s raw immediacy: tight, funky, and irresistibly authentic.
