Free Music Notes for Headless Heroes of the Apocalypse

Free Music Review: A solid mind trip !
Hit: 5 Stars

I first became familiar with this album when a cut called LOVIN' MAN appeared on one of my favorite funky/jazz soul compilations, the FREE SOUL series from here in Japan. The track reminded me a lot of something like Gil Scott Heron might have done with a bit of LES McCANN and Oscar Brown Jr. thrown in... Jazzy, a bit funky, and yes... hiply subversive...
Mixing message with some purdy darn funky tracks, it was produced by Joel Dorn and the first name that comes to mind when reading the liner notes is Alphonse Mouzon who set the standard for Jazz/Soul "crossover" groove music... Harry Whitaker's groovy Rhodes playing ain't nothing to sneeze at either... in fact the entire ensemble is right on the money - - yet with all that great music, its McDaniel's wild lyric writing done in a cool (at times almost Bob Dylanesque manner) that makes this session a highly under-rated masterpiece... - - HEADLESS HEROES has everything you'd expect of a funky Jazz crossover album of its type - - yet goes a step beyond what you'd expect... yes, it is tight, fresh and incredibly original... the production quality and music go hand in hand... at the same time, you never know exactly where each tune is going to take, but once you let go, you always wind up in a wonderful place... This is "acid Jazz" long before the term was invented... though its hard to pinpoint the genre of this album (early '70s Jazz/Funk crossover ?), the best way to put it is like this.... its too darn good ! ! ! (Incidentally, I really dig Gary King's bass playing on The Parasite !)

Headless Heroes of the Apocalypse Poster

When this album was first released in 1971, so the legend goes, Nixon's vice-president Spiro Agnew himself called Atlantic Records to complain about the album's incendiary lyrics. Once again available on CD, McDaniels' funky social critique is wrapped up in an appealing stew that draws from rock, R&B, folk, soul, and even free jazz. Detailed liner notes.
