Customer Reviews
Some great stuff here
I got this as I heard "Between Two Sheets" on a compilation and liked it. There are some great, extended funk tracks on this album. The opener "Up for the Down Stroke" in particular is terrific. Being in the studio and hearing all that brass must have been amazing. The phrasing is terrific. Not all the tracks are that good but quite a few are.
This guy and the musicians on this album all deserve some of the recognition that people like James Brown get (Fred Wesley was James Browns arranger on several albums and the "hardest working man is showbusiness" was a difficult boss). Some of the stuff on here absolutely COOKS and is funkier than anything by James Brown that I have heard. Dont get me wrong I like James Brown it just seems that the musicians around him haven't got what they deserve.
Anyway, back to the album - its great, lovers of funk, soul and jazz should all fine something to enjoy.
