Free Music Notes for East Bay Grease Album
Free Music Review: Breathtaking debut with grooves so deep they hurt
Hit: 5 Stars
Though their horn-heavy charts and funky soul had it precursors (Sly & The Family Stone, BS&T, etc.), few had taken it so far, and with such heavy grooves as this Berkeley/Oakland ensemble. This debut album, originally issued on Bill Graham's small San Francisco label, and out of print for many years, nailed it all on the first try.The songs are eminently catchy, the rhythms (especially Dave Garibaldi's drumming) are as vital as heartbeats, and the horn charts blew away their contemporaries. The vocals, always a moving target with T.O.P. came from Richard Thomas and Rufus Miller.
Many fans like their next two or three LPs better, as the arrangements became more refined and the band tightened up a bit, but as the founding document of funk city, I'll vote this one every time.
The perfect soundtrack for wolfing down a messy plate of ribs from KC's.
