Free Music Notes for Bringing Back the Funk
Free Music Review: The Funk Has Definitely Been Revived!
Hit: 5 Stars
If you are a fan of classic funk and jazzy jams, then Brian Culbertson (with the help of a Who's Who of "Old School" friends with serious funk chops) has just whipped up a generous serving of the good stuff for you. Listening to this CD for the 1st time is like unexpectedly coming across a bottle of a favorite old wine, sharing it with a special friend that you know will appreciate it, and discovering that it's every bit as good as you remembered it to be. Of course the difference here is that you can listen to Brian's new CD as many times as you want. If you appreciate music that is "the real deal" as much as I do, my prediction is that as soon as the last note dies away you will be hitting play again to reappreciate Bringing Back the Funk's remarkable and fully realized goal of revitalizing a genre of music that has sadly, become all too rare in this era of formulaic "smooth jazz". This is not ambient background music that won't reward critical listening. Put another way, there are songs on here that are memorable and hold up to repeated listening. I'm talking about songs such as; "Funkin' Like My Father" (with Bootsy), "The World Keeps Going Round and Round", "You Got to Funkifize", and "Voices Inside (Everything is Everything)". There is also a wicked version of Kool and the Gang's "Hollywood Swinging" featuring Musiq Soulchild and Gerald Albright. In fact, Brian has managed to create an authentic funky vibe that really comes across in every cut on this seamless and remarkable collection of modern "old school" songs. Brian Culbertson has the ability to infuse his music with an infectious uplifting groove that will put a smile on your face. I recommend Bringing Back the Funk, with no reservations. Funkifize!
