Customer Reviews:

Legendary Funk Band !.......2007-03-12

This is a great compilation of Fatback from the earlier 70's prior to their Disco era when they hit paydirt with "bus stop" - - Here they're more of a down home Funk Band... Though not all the tunes are memorable classics, I do find myself listening to the compilation over and over again, getting hooked to this or that tune, then moving on, and coming back and finding another. (I owned most the albums at one time.)

As for the sound... Fatback is... Fatback. At times a bit "messy" (the horns may not necessarily hit the right notes and vocals can be forced) - - yet at the same time they're always tight, together... and the tunes are nicely put together. They can also groove and do some interesting stuff at more laid back and trippy tempos. Bass player is always kicking, drummer (the leader) definitely an under-rated legend (plenty of great breakbeat type stuff)... guitars are always strumming out some great funk,, nice horn lines, a little tambourine shaking, party like atmsphere and of course, there are vocals to boot... - - I guess in a way the sound is a bit similar to Early 70's Stax... Definitely not old school Memphis "Soul", but not the sizzling techno-funk of Tower of Power either... as I said... Fatback is Fatback... and thank God...

If you like Fatback, check out NEW BIRTH as well...!
