YES INDEED, MAN!!!!! March 7, 2007
Martin L. King
you know, i thought at first when i heard FUNKY NASSAU that this was gonna be one of those albums where the song released (of course, they are considered "one hit wonders".) is the first cut and the rest of the album just plain sucks!!!! i have never been so happy to be wrong in my whole unfulfilled LIFE!!!!! this is the type of funkiness that i have dreamt about for the vast majority of my life!!!! ESSENTIAL BOMPALICIOUSNESS!!!! if you like that raw HUMMAFUNK, then you will enjoy this immensely.
(stankyfunkfootnote: the last track........think PETE ROCK and CL SMOOTH.)
Great Caribbean Funk! January 23, 2007
Darin Bunton (Chattanooga, TN)
First off, the album is along the lines of 70's James Brown, War, etc, etc... It's neat to hear how funk influenced music all over the world (I immediately think of Fela Kuti), and this album doesn't disappoint. Every track is invocative of funk music, with plenty of brass, nice guitar solos, and I especially enjoyed the lead singer - he has an undeniable Caribbean accent, but it just adds to the uniqueness of the sound. The only drawback for me personally was the lack of drawn out jamming, which, again, is totally a personal thing - I like long, drawn out music. I totally recommend this album to any fan of the JBs, the Meters, and the list could go on and on.
