This album was barely noticed outside the USA when it was released, and it wasn't particularly big at home either. Shame, because it's a really sweet crossover. Really rough n' ready production, just a three-piece band, all the tunes recorded in one take. If you like blues, or you like hip-hop, give these tunes a listen - they might convert you to liking the other.
I feel so bad for this record because it's great and practically nobody's heard it, so here we go...
It's difficult isn't it? Embrace your unfashionability! I remember when I first picked up a bass guitar in... 1989, and I was terrified by all the amazing disco players. I didn't think I'd ever be that good.
Later I found out that on every one of those records it was either Bernard Edwards or Louis Johnson.
Just saw these guys play at Lee's Palace tonight. Pretty damn good live, and they have a stunningly gorgeous bassist. I think I might go to their show in London, Ontario now, too, and pick up their EP album while I'm there. Great stuff.
