BROOKLYN SOUL BISCUITS - SOUL BISCUITS
A sweet little set from the legendary Randy Muller – best known for his famous funky work in Brass Construction and Skyy, but an artist who's still going strong all these many years later! Brooklyn Soul Biscuits have a great mix of old school funk and contemporary beats – fused together with the tightness we've always loved from Muller, who has a key ear for making everything come down right into the groove. Vocals are by Randy himself, whose raspy style fits right in alongside the basslines – and the set also features leads on a few tracks from female singer Lydia Caesar. Some of the best numbers echo the horn leads of Muller's older work – and titles include "Off The Ground", "Come As U Are", "The Worm", "Cornbread", "We Got Soul", "Funky Like That", "Beautiful Day", and "Bring Me Down". ~ Dusty Groove |
