Free Music Notes for We Can Make You Dance: Zapp & Roger Anthology Album
Free Music Review: A great collection with full length tracks
Hit: 5 Stars
This collection is superior, musicly speaking, to the previous platinum selling "Zapp and Roger-All the greatest hits" that came out back in 93. You should definitely get this one, even if you already have "All the Greatest Hits" Although that 1993 collection was great, they had to cut short a lot of the songs to fit so many onto one CD/Tape.Therefore,for many who didnt have the original vinyl, you missed some cool stuff. Funk is a style of music where artists favor the LONG PLAYER and are known to drop some surprises even after 5 minutes of the song, and Roger was no exception. With the double CD "We Can Make You Dance" you get to hear the FULL LENGTH versions of some of some Zapp classics that were previously only found on the original vinyl hidden away in Record Shops, like the Phunky ending keyboard section in "Heartbreaker". Of course, you also get the full 11 minutes of "More Bounce" plus other FAT but lesser known Zapp songs like "Play Some Blues" and the "Playin Kinda Ruff" instrumental jam.
I am a BIG Funk Fan (aka Funkateer) and aspiring artist producer myself, and Roger's music is my main influence, so needless to say myself and others were stunned to see the loss of such a great creative artist in his prime when he was killed by his brother in 1999. Since his death I was waiting to see a proper CD collection talking about his life and music, and this CD is IT!
This CD gives people an opportunity to see a much more well rounded picture of Roger and Zapp's musical influences, their skills at Funk, Blues, Soul, and Jazz and great craftsmanship, both in the uptempo Jamms and the slower ballads, with and without the talkbox. The liner notes tell the life story of the Troutman brothers and their interesting details about their musical history that bridged the gap from 70's to 80's Funk.
This is a great CD for anyone who likes Funk, likes the music of Roger, and, basically for anyone who wants some Jammin, well played, and positive music. In short, you'll hear more than just the greatest hits, but you'll hear what Roger and Zapp was really all about.
The remaining Troutman Brothers still tour as a group, usually billed as "Zapp-a Tribute to Roger", with Roger's brother, known as "Zapp" Troutman, handling all the talkbox vocals. IMO it's Hands down the best Funk Show out there right now (to me it's even better than George Clinton's current show!) See it if you can, and get this CD!
