Billy Bruner - Billy Bruner

This collection gathers rare and unreleased recordings from Tulsa musician Billy Bruner, drawing together ten tracks of outsider boogie and soul. Bruner was active in groups including Darwin’s Theory, T-Spoon and J.O.B Band, and his music carries the loose, homegrown character of independent regional funk and boogie.

Warm synths, simple drum-machine grooves and an appealing lo-fi edge give these tracks a distinctive personality. It is a strong set for listeners into private-press boogie, obscure soul and leftfield disco.
