Robot Emperor wrote: Various Artists - Country Funk Volumes 1 and 2. Find these if you can. Think they were a vinyl only released by Light In The Attic Records a few years ago but now available as a download and what I've actually been listening to for an embarrassing amount of time now. Every track is a classic (Hoyt Axton being a particular favourite - harmonica impersonating a chicken... what's not to love?). Check out this greatest ever cover of an Elvis track:

Country Grindcore - wow. Edit - Goddamn, that's Roger McGuinn on guitar!
ttfn.
On this promotional video of Billy Swan's version of Don't Be Cruel the band gamely miming away inexplicably features Roger McGuinn on guitar, David Essex on drums (2:48), and Kenny Jones (1:53) on piano.
Can't make out the bass player - but from the logic of the rest of it Alvin Stardust has got to be a contender. The dancing preacher is the obvious star and doubtless was a star but I don't recognise him. Delightfully he appears to kick the woman as she lays on the floor after she's been laid out with a punch from her abductor. Enlightened times the Seventies. Still, he busts some moves.
