Free Music Notes for Trunk Funk Classics: 1991-2000

Free Music Review: British Soul
Hit: 4 Stars

When it came to the music scene in the 90's, there was more of a mix of rap & hip hop in America, where there was little to no soul. But, where England was developing into soul, they were much more on top of the scene, especially with the mixes of electronica, soul, and the birth of acid jazz. That helped the careers of acts like Soul II Soul, and great organic groups like The Brand New Heavies. Although they've been considered one hit wonders here in America, the group blended a unique mix of funk, R&B & soul within each of their songs, and that could be said well with this hits albums during their hay day in the U.K.

The Brand New Heavies Trunk Funk Classics 1991-2000, blends the best of the U.K. guilty pleasure that they brought to so many when it came to R&B and acid jazz furing the 90's. The single disc collection includes 15 great tracks, that delight so many listners young & old. As a greatest hits album, the songs blend a mix of instrumental and contemporary pop, where the songs have also shown as they were remastered well. The collection includes a lot of great tracks including classics like the breakout U.S. hits Brother Sister and Dream On Dreamer, as well as surprising delights like Soul Flower & Finish What You Started, as well as the upbeat Never Stop. The instrumental tracks like Have A Good Time and Put The Funk Back In It add the escapism to true soul well in distinction on this album.

While The Brand New Heavies have been so successful overseas, it is sometimes so easy to forget what true distinctive soul is like, especially when it comes to manufactured acts like Britney Spears and Jennifer Lopez who haven't got the feeling of soul in them. Trunk Funk Classics: 1991-2000 works great for parties and for anyone who loves the feeling of good, old fashion soul. I really love those songs, and it works as a great addition to your album collection.

Trunk Funk Classics: 1991-2000 Poster

Before Maceo Parker played with De La Soul, before Dr. Dre sampled the entire P-Funk catalog, even before flares came back in style, London's the Brand New Heavies were spreading funk's gospel to a whole new generation of listeners. Formed in 1985 by James Brown-worshipers Jan Kincaid, Simon Bartholomew, and Andrew Levy (vocalist N'dea Davenport joined in 1990), the band emerged from London's acid jazz scene in the early '90s with a sound folks had been jonesin' for. It wasn't quite Bootsy or Sly, but the Heavies' sexy, raw, and uplifting blend of sweaty '60s funk and smoothed-out '70s soul made booties shake harder than they had in years. Their early material has aged well; cuts off 1992's hip-hop-infused Heavy Rhyme Experience: Vol. 1 (especially "Soul Flower," which features hip-hop's Pharcyde at its finest) gush with exuberance, as do the four cuts from Brother Sister, perhaps the band's strongest album. Unfortunately, things haven't been quite the same since Davenport left the band in 1995 (replaced by Siedah Garrett until '98, then by current vocalist Carleen Anderson). But the comp's only new track, a reworking of Marvin Gaye's "Saturday Nite" that features rapper Mos Def, offers up a superfine bounce that'll definitely leave you grooving. They've still got it goin' on. --Sylvia W. Chan
