    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]

    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.
  5. 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.
