Aug 19, 2011Tha 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.
-
MojoMay 17, 2011A romp through Bootsy's former glories, subtly retooling them to sound comfortingly familiar yet not anachronistic. [May 2011, p.106]
-
Apr 26, 2011There 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.
-
Apr 25, 2011Bootsy sets about waking up a new generation to funk's heritage.

Apr 26, 2011The characteristically festive result is generous to a fault: Collins triggers warm memories but leaves us with only a shallow sense of how precisely his four decades in the business have affected him as a man.
