| | Bootsy Collins This Boot Is Made For Fonk-N CD Bootsy Collins Discography of CDs
Opener "Under the Influence of a Groove" indicates the album will take no prisoners, a promise followed up with sizzling tracks such as "Bootsy Get Live" and "Jam Fan (Hot)." While there's not as much variation here as on other Bootsy solo outings (there's a complete dearth of Bootsy's slow-groove ballads, for example), the funk is kept at such a consistently high pitch (thanks in part to Bootsy's stupendous band, which includes numerous fellow P-funkateers) that it's hard to complain.
Bootsy Collins closed out a spectacular decade with 1979's THIS BOOT IS MADE FOR FONK-N. Both with Parliament-Funkadelic and as a solo artist, Bootsy was one of the key figures of funk in the `70s, and THIS BOOT, a non-stop collection of hard, ferocious funk jams, shows why.

This Boot Is Made For Fonk-N music CDs
$16.65 The sheer toughness -- and overall derivative -- nature of Killing Floor's debut album, issued six months after Led Zeppelin's debut in 1969 on the Spark label, is a wondrous contrast to the overly slick treatment American blues were given by British artists. All of these tunes, with the exception of one, are revamped versions ...
| | Danny Kirwan Second Chapter CD (1975) With Book; Limited Edition; Digipak
This Boot Is Made For Fonk-N songs
$19.79 The first solo album from Fleetwood Mac singer/songwriter Daniel David Kirwan has the future producer for Human League and Buzzcocks, Martin Rushent, utilizing those skills here, as well as engineering. The sound is crystal clear, and a feather in the cap for Rushent as well as Kirwan. It starts off with an uncharacteristic "Ram Jam City," which has more Lindsey Buckingham sounds than one would expect, especially since the two guitarists ...
| | Legend CD (2007) With Book; Limited Edition; Digipak
This Boot Is Made For Fonk-N album
$16.59 In some circles, Mickey Jupp is something of a minor legend, a roots rocker with excellent taste and a cutting wit, best heard on the songs "Switchboard Susan" and "You'll Never Get Me Up in One of Those," both covered by Nick Lowe. Basher's endorsement is a clear indication that Jupp is a pub rocker, a guy who specializes in laid-back good times, so it shouldn't come as a great surprise that his first band, Legend, was proto-pub, an unabashed celebration of old-time rock & roll, filled with three-chord Chuck Berry rockers and doo wop backing vocals. Nevertheless, ...

| | Two Phases Of Irma Thomas CD (2007)
This Boot Is Made For Fonk-N songs
$14.09 The First Lady of New Orleans Soul, Irma Thomas had been out of the music business for several years after Hurricane Camille tore through the Crescent City in 1969, but in 1973 Jerry Williams, Jr. (better known as R&B iconoclast Swamp Dogg) was serving as producer and A&R man for a new label, Fungus Records, and he persuaded Thomas to return to the studio to cut a new album. The result, In Between Tears, was a triumph, an album that recast Thomas as a grown woman who sang about life and love with a hard-won sense of passionate commitment and emotional honesty, and her rich, gospel-influenced vocals were accompanied by some of the best musicians in Southern soul, among them Duane Allman (his performances were lifted from a 1971 session with Thomas), Jimmy Johnson, Spooner Oldham, and the Memphis Horns. For reasons that defy conventional logic, Williams was not entirely happy with the album's production, and in 1993 he reissued the set as Turn My World Around with two songs clipped off, the sequence shuffled and, most importantly, new backing tracks that added synthesizers, booming digital drums, and a deeply echoey mix ...
