CD Reviews

Pre-WAR band makes good with the funk

Scott Woods | Columbus, Ohio United States | 07/12/2003

(4 out of 5 stars)

"What you need to know is that Senor Soul was an early incarnation of War, a band known for keeping the funk pretty raw on every production count. This is a roots-based funky record, its tracks almost solely instrumental and without the polish of the 70s quite hitting it yet...a lot like a smaller combo version of some instrumental James Brown/JBs stuff. Good stuff for those REAL old heads or when you want to put something on and go back. A number of instrumental versions of classic Motown-era stuff, too ("Uptight (Everything's Alright)", "It's Your Thing", etc.).
All in all a great funk (or pre-funk record if you want to be specific), but not for people who only know Parliament or Funkadelic. This one's got a heavy Latin/L.A. vibe, so it's more
in line with early Santana than anything else."
