Free Music Review: It's Time For The Dukey Stick Again!
Hit: 5 Stars

George Duke's recording on his own BPM label have proven to be his most artistically successful period since his heyday on Epic Records. His recordings for the label so far Face the Music and Duke have been funky and original outings with Duke and his "merry men of jazzy funk" doing what they do best. And besides someone needed to lead the pack in offering a needed alternative to the Weather Channel-like "smooth jazz" that was everywhere for a couple decades,and Duke always did it with bells on. On this recording Duke assembled a group of vocalists he's worked with over the years from cousin Rachell Farrell to Howard Hewett. The great part is they provide the perfect backround and never intrude on the groove. The beauty part is along with his newer players Duke has also baught Sheila E,Ndugu Channcler and Napoleon Murphy Brock back into the fold-officially forming a new version of the classic George Duke Band. But it's all about the songs anyway so you get some great stuff. The album is filled from top to bottom with some fierce funk produced to perfection in "Everyday Hero",the title track,the P-Funk narrative "A Fonk Tail" and "Mercy". Of interest to fusion lovers will were also considered the topical "Sudan",the instrumenal extravaganza "Image Of Us" and even "Somebody Laid It On Us"-that and "Sudan" are great topical songs,showing not only George Duke hasn't forgotton the great funk message songs modern R&B often neglects but illustrating with a good hearted feeling how our local and global problems are closer related then we think. The ballads 'I Tried To Tell You","Listen Baby" and "Right On Time" are the finest Duke has done in years and showcase a smokier quality in his singing. Two more variations on classic funk in the slightly more programmed sounding "Creepin'" and the melodic EWF style "Are You Aready" add up to a well rounded set you can enjoy from beginning to end and will make you hungry for Duke's next recording.

Dukey Treats Poster

Veteran keyboardist and producer George Duke remembers a time when funk was a powerful force not just in popular music but in social discourse. Frequently with a measure of wit and irony, and often with a strong dose of positivity at the core, titans like James Brown, Sly and the Family Stone and other funk icons of the `60s and `70s boldly addressed societal concerns ranging from poverty to racial disharmony to the battle of the sexes. Among the numerous treats on this album are not just the songs themselves but the roster of high-profile personnel helping to bring them to life many of them alumni of Duke's earlier bands and projects. Included on the guest list are bassist Christian McBride, percussionist Sheila E and trumpeter Michael Patches Stuart, to name a few. Along with Duke himself, the vocal crew includes Jonathan Butler, Howard Hewett, Teena Marie, Rachelle Ferrell and more.
