CD Reviews

"Now I know you may be thinking: "Kool & The Gang?.... When dinousaurs roamed the earth" LOL. While there may be much truth in that, as they've been around for decades, I'm here to tell you this album is as good as any they've ever recorded. Matter of fact, as a body of work, pound for pound, right now this is the best album I've heard all year. From the opening track, the bouncy "Dave", all the way down to the smooth jazz grooves of "Sailing", what a surprise treat this is. Other highlights? The whole CD is a highlight, but I would like to point out that you can't go wrong with the sweet stepper "Steppin' Into Love", smoking slow jams like "Everything's Gonna Change", "Made For Love", "Someone Like You", party funk like "Give It Up" with it's tropical influence, and also "Living In The 21". A dangerous CD that does 'em proud. I didn't think music was made like this anymore. By the way, "JT" Taylor ain't on here cel-e-bra-ting and having a good time. You won't miss him, trust me. Oh! Just so's you know, he is cel-e-bra-ting and having a good time on the bonus CD as it has five of their past hits on it. Not sure why this release is marketed this way, but I presume the suits know what they're doing. Anyway, the verdict on this one? Essential. Yeah hoooo!!!"
Kook & The Gang: They've Still Got It!

"Wow! A must have! What A Comeback!!! You can hear a lot of their 80's flair with a current groove. "Steppin' Into Love" and "Trust Me" are nice grooves for dancing. My favorites of the entire listing are "Too Low For Zero" and "Made For Love". Mellow grooves to enjoy during a quiet rainstorm, a mellow glass of wine and someone to cuddle with! "Too Low For Zero" is a tearjerker! The entire CD is wonderful! I think you will be pleasantly surprised if you're looking for something fresh and engaging! Enjoy!!!"

"This is an amazing album. These guys have been around a long time(Cleveland Brown's informative liner notes) and aged to perfection. This is one of those albums that will make it a better year and be played for the rest of your life. Reading the notes inside the cover help you appreciate why this music is so great and now I am going to buy the other albums by Kool & the Gang. This is way better than anything I have ever heard from them but now I understand more about them from reading the story. Must have album."
