CD Reviews

The flavor of DC's streets
KH | United States | 01/27/2005
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Those of you living in the DC and Baltimore areas are probably already familiar with the Go-Go genius that is Rare Essence. Go-Go is a percussion-driven musical form unique to this area of the country and pioneered by the likes of Chuck Brown. Rare Essence keeps the old school flavor of Go-Go alive using horns and heavy beats, and infuses it with a healthy dose of R&B, Hip-Hop, rock, funk and dance music. The blend comes of perfectly. In fact, those of you who have seen Rare Essence live know that their covers of songs by Jay Z and Sade often surpass the original artist recordings. You would be hard pressed to find a musical genre (or a band) that combines so many musical themes, and pulls them off so well.

'Doin' It Old School Style' is a slice of infectious funk-pop-hop-rock that will keep you on your feet.

DC's best-kept secret is Rare Essence. Now, HOW IS YOUR FUNK?
