about

Rounding out The Players’ unprecedented run of undeniable funk classics for Westbound is Rattlesnake. Released in 1975, it follows Climax by presenting another collection of new tracks recorded before the band left for Mercury, alongside some previously released gems. These tracks create the perfect parting gift by the group, featuring all aspects of what allowed them to rise to international fame. Sophisticated, sexy, uproarious, and ultimately as funky as music gets, Rattlesnake is a perfect cap to The Player’s time at Westbound.
