Anyone who knows anything about Victor Wooten knows that he's one of those rare souls: he gains a rep for playing the bass. Soul Circus, however, isn't just an extravaganza for bass players. Wooten, as it turns out, is also a heck of a writer and, as the listener will learn on the first track, a fine singer. The unusual first track, "Victa," is a funky, soulful hymn in praise of -- who else -- Wooten himself, while "Bass Tribute" offers accolades to those who've come before him. If the subject matter sounds a bit strange, the confident delivery, understated humor, and fine songwriting make it all work. Soul Circus' production is a nice merger of keyboards, drums, lots of bass, and multiple voices. While this combination and Wooten's production does provide a blueprint sound for the album, it's never predictable. "Back to India," for example, combines soul and sitar for an unusual but winning mixture. There are other oddities like "Cell Phone," complete with dialer effects, spiritually tinged material like "Prayer" and "Back to India," and songs about the power of love such as "Can't Hide Love." Overall, Soul Circus has the adventurous, confident feel of an old Sly Stone album while still being completely of its time. It's also certain that the album will convince listeners that Wooten, while still a fine bass player, has many talents. ~ Ronnie D. Lankford Jr.

Purchase Soul Circus CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Raekwon Only Built 4 Cuban Linx... CD (1995)
Soul Circus album
$8.99 The Wu-Tang saga continues. Raekwon "The Chef" is already an irreplacable part of rap music's largest breed, the Wu-Tang Clan, but his debut proves him also capable of standing on his own two feet. On ONLY BUILT 4 CUBAN LINX..., Raekwon's street-tough lyrics spotlight the roughness of his everyday life and, combined with short story interludes, shape the plot for this gangster movie of an album.
The topics on CUBAN LINX are all Chef-centered braggadocio, and the beats constantly reflect the hip-hop underground. Raekwon defines the politics of the rap game on "Incarcerated Scarfaces," and invites any non-believers to test his skills. Joining Raekwon on just about every cut, fellow Clan-man Ghost Face Killer gives a great solo effort on "Wisdom Body."
In fact, CUBAN LINX bares closer resemblance to an actual Wu-Tang Clan album than any solo record by a ...

| | Buddy Flett Mississippi Sea CD (2007)
Soul Circus CD music
$16.45 Out of the Past, LLC is Proud to Announce the Release of “Mississippi Sea” the Solo Debut from Buddy Flett. CD Release Date: April 17, 2007 Twelve songs performed on acoustic guitars by Singer/songwriter/guitarist Buddy Flett of the Bluebirds. Buddy continues to be the frontman for the Shreveport, Louisiana trio, and is currently with Kenny Wayne Shepherd’s “Blues From the Backroads” Tour until April 26th. Bunking with Hubert Sumlin and Pinetop Perkins on the Tour Bus, “young” Buddy (53) is getting the thrill of a lifetime, (and guitar lessons even in his sleep!), on this national tour. They are promoting the DVD/CD “10 Days Out”. Buddy’s song “Honk Tonk” from “10 Days Out: Blues from the Backroads” is one of the featured tracks that Blues, Roots, and AAA have featured from the disc. “Mississippi Sea” marks a bit of a departure from Buddy’s “sound” with the Bluebirds. Acoustic blues, nine songs written or co-written by Bud. A deep, laid back artistic statement by a passionate Observer of the South. The imagery on these original tunes is deeper than the Mississippi Sea. A wider point of reference than the Mississippi Delta, with the Deep South mystique of the Ark-La-Miss and the hard-edged feel pioneered by Texans like Lightnin’ Hopkins. “Flett’s six-string work sounds like the missing Louisiana link to Elmore James and Muddy Waters” - Scott Jordan, Gambit Weekly, New Orleans. The CD was Produced by Buddy Flett and Darren Osborn and recorded at Sandbox Studios in Shreveport. Legendary studio bassist Joe Osborn is the electric bass player on the five tracks that have drums and bass. Joe’s son Darren plays drums and was the recording engineer. Other guest musicians include guitarists Steve Howell and Jim Caskey and Kevin Smith. Kenny Wayne Shepherd plays the solo on I Hear Ya’ Callin. Heavy portions of his acclaimed slide guitar playing and his whiskey burned vocals help define this album. This CD will solidify Buddy’s ...
