Free Music Review: BOOTSY AIN'T NO HOLLYWOOD SQAURE!
Hit: 5 Stars
He's the coolest bass player to ever walk amongst the stars on Hollywood Blvd. Out of everyone in the P funk army, Bootsy was always my favorite. George was the frontman par excellence and Bernie was the glue that held their intricately composed jams together, but there was something about Bootsy that always stoodout. He had a strong and charismatic personality and strong bass riffs to boot. Out of all the spin off groups (Parlet, Fred Wesley and the Horny Horns, Brides of Funkenstein,etc.), Bootsy was the only one to find commercial success and have a singular indenity outside of Parliament/ Funkadelic.
Upon lookin at Bootsy, He doesn't seem like a serious musician. His funny Costumes and Star shaped Sunglasses will give casual music fans the impression that He's a novelty artist of the 70's. That's far from the truth as he and his Rubberband dishes out top quality P Funk with the same inventive grace as thier father band Parliament. Bootsy leads the way with his exaggerated nasal voice(which sounds like Jimi Hendrix as a mental patient.HeHe) that provides comic relief throughout the anthology.
Listening to this Anthology, it's easy to see why Bootsy is one of most respected musicians from his generation. Along with Benard Edwards (Chic), He's got one of the most copied bass playing styles in music. fortunately, Bootsy always stayed one step ahead of the imitators as he showed on a lot of tracks how to substain a groove without it sounding repetitive( check out "What's a Telephone Bill", and "Roto Rooter" to hear the depth of his unparalelled talent on Bass). He's clearly up there with world class Jazz Bassists such as Ron Carter. He's able to improvise without losing the groove. Unlike Parliament and Funkadelic, Bootsy can more than hold his own when it comes to slow jams. His Ballads are the best and most seductive within the P funk canon. What's cool about his slow jams is that Bootsy doesn't take himself so serious in his loverman role. He's willing to be as silly as he is romantic (don't expect to hear excessive bad boy posturing or saccharine soul bearing). He's one of the few who can take love and lust and make it his own in R&B.
Naming standouts is unncessary because the whole anthology is a wonderfully kooky ride throughout the duration of 2 discs. Eventhough the second disc loses a little bit of steam towards the end, it's still solid and enjoyable. The songs are endlessly innovative and Bootsy is havin' a funky good time that's guaranteed to keep you laughing and your booty shaking at the same time.
While most of his catalog is avialiable, this is good one stop shopping if you don't feel like spending over a hundred dollers collecting his catalog from this era. With albums like "This Boot is Made for Fonk-N" and "Ultra Wave" out of print, Albums like his debut "Stretchin Out.." and "The one Giveth...." tagged with a high import price, this anthology is even more of a necessity since the best tracks from those albums are hard to find.
If you're lookin' to fly on the Mothership without George, put a gilde in your slide and a dip in your hip! you'll be just as satisfied.
