    Tha Funk Capital Of The World, is one of his best ever records as a front man and one of the most outrageously funky records released in years.

    A romp through Bootsy's former glories, subtly retooling them to sound comfortingly familiar yet not anachronistic. [May 2011, p.106]
  3. There are collaborations with Bobby Womack, Sheila E and George Clinton. All driven by the heavy funk bass of Collins. Which is never a bad thing.

    Bootsy sets about waking up a new generation to funk's heritage.

    Ignore the dodgy ballads and wallow in Bootsy's genre-defining bass and irrepressible spirit – this is as close to the Mothership as it gets.

    It's not surprising that his first new album in five years, "Tha Funk Capital of the World," is epic in scale, from its 16 mostly woofer-shaking tracks to the generation-spanning guest list.

    A tribute to the late P-Funk guitarist Garry Shider and an appearance from Bootsy's older brother Catfish Collins -- who died before the album saw release -- add poignancy to this rich and funky success.
