Dumpstaphunk featuring Marcus King, “United Nations Stomp”
New Orleans’ Dumpstaphunk has released a cover of Buddy Miles’ 1973 funky anthemic “United Nations Stomp.” The first explosive moments of the song features South Carolina native Marcus King, whose guitar work is reminiscent of Hendrix, and combines the sound of his favorite guitarists Duane Allman, B.B.
