Back in the Day: The Best of Bootsy

Amazon.com
William "Bootsy" Collins was already a veteran of James Brown's band when he hooked up with George Clinton's Parliafunkadelicment thang in the early '70s. His outsize personality and preternatural good nature made him an obvious choice when Clinton came up with the idea of reaching for the preteen audience ("geepies") with a comic-book-style character; thus was born Bootsy's Rubber Band. Thumping tracks and Collins's stoned-sounding mumblings made the whole thing irresistible. Back in the Day collects many of the high points among the man's statements of purpose ("The Pinocchio Theory") and seduction moves ("Hollywood Squares"). --Rickey Wright

ALL THE SONGS ROCK!.......2007-02-22

Great music, awesome !!! Good back in the day funk..... that sounds still tight today.

FUNKALICIOUS!!!!.......2005-12-04

I usually don't recommend compliations,but no record collection should be complete without this.
Why?
The last track just may be the most exciting live performance recorded.

Something interesting to note..........2005-08-20

I think it's interesting that he does duets with Snoop(Dogg): "No Thang On Me", "Can I Get A Flicc Witchu" AND also with TobyMac(from DC Talk): "Diverse City."

It's interesting because while Snoop is rap and TobyMac is Rock/Rap, they are on the opposite sides of the hip/hop spectrum, lyrically, that is.

Ahhhhh, the name is Bootsy, Baby! .......2005-01-08

When first heard this, I took it back to the shop and asked for my money back, I'm serious! I was into Sly Stone, James Brown, and Funkadelic. My tastes at that time were pretty limited. After a year or so, I was sittin' round at a friends, amidst a plume of yellow smoke, talkin' gibberish, and somebody put this same cd on. Man... We cried laughing! Only then did I start to realize just HOW FAR OUT THERE this cat really is! Casper and all the Hollywood swinging, Pscycoticbumschoolin' grooves jus took me 'out the front door, and in tha back'!
Man!

The space bass is heard to full effect on here. I like the slow jams, like 'Mugpush,' 'Can't stay away,' and 'Vanish in Our Sleep.' His tunes have a hypnotic, nursury rhyme thing goin' on that nobody else could ever conceive, or get away with!

If you wanna get silly serious, get Bootsy!

Corny But Jammin!!!!.......2004-02-14

Aah It's Bootsy Baby I love this cd and I love this artist Bootsy Collins no one can dress or sound like Bootsy but him he is the only one that can do it Bootsy can jam and be corny at the same time I love Tthis cd they are some jammin songs !!!! And I would recommend anyone who likes classic funk to buy this cd anyone who digs Parliament to buy this cd !!!
My favorites are: Hollywood Squares, The Pinnochio Theory, Bootzilla, Stretching Out in A Rubber Band, I'd Rather Be With You, and many great others you definitely will enjoy!!!!

Bootsy is banging on here .......2006-10-01

Bootsy collins is one of the most innovative Bass Players Ever. His work is often overshadowedby his larger than life Imagery,but make no mistake about it the Brother can play&cover a wide range of styles. "Hollywood Sqaures" is a Bumping track,Can't stay away" is a Smooth cut as well. the obvious P-funk Association with George Clinton along with Bootsy's Jimi Hendrixesque vocals. there is a harmony of doo Wop in what Bootsy does vocally. the arrangements are cool&the Funk is blistering."Body Slam" is banging. the synth work on here with the Guitar&Bass work is slamming. Bootsy is one of the most underrated Multi Instrumentalist in the Indsutry as well. I got almost all of his Albums&his Music back in the day was banging. YABBA! DABBA DOO BABY!!!!!!!!!
