A Funk Purists Delight!

"Fatback,in any incarnation,never even tried to sound
contemporary.They always stuck to their booty-shaking grooves and
collective vocals but never got deeper then that.In other words,Fatback fed the feet more then the mind.The production
on "Hot Box" might have worked better five years earlier but that
does'nt stop the tital cut,"Street Band",and the King Tim III rap
"(Gotta Get My Hands)On Some Money" from calling to your feet.Two
higlites are the rip-roaringly hillarious "Love Spell",straight
out of the George Duke "Reach For It" catalog of basic jams.Then
there's the phenomenal,synth bass-led "Backstrockin'",a funk
classic by any other name.If your not looking for any great
production or vocal innovations and just want funky party music,
this is the place to go."
