Funky music with deep, intelligent lyrics, March 8, 2000
This review is from: Blufunk Is a Fact (Audio CD)
Good lord! Why is it that music like the Backstreet Boys selling a ba-gillion copies and yet no one knows anything about talents like Keziah Jones? This album is, plain and simply, AMAZING. Funky bass lines, horns and chunky guitars invite inevitable comparisons to Lenny Kravitz, but to stop at that would be to pass Keziah Jones of as a copy and never uncover him as an amazing artist in his own right. The songs not only musically are amazing and full of soul, but the lyrics are deep and pertain to real subjects like race and love without being in the slighest "make me want to vomit" cheesy or "stop lecturing me" preachy. When singing about love and (more appropriately) making love, this Brit's lyrics are sensual and deep. When singing about race, the lyrics make you take notice without reprimanding you. Just listen to "Rhythm is Love," "The Wisdom Behind the Smile (Cash)" or "The Funderlying Undermentals" and you'll understand why I can't stop talking (writing) about ths album (his best).

unique experience, September 22, 1999

This review is from: Blufunk Is a Fact (Audio CD)
Keziah Jones is an incredible guitar player and a poet. This album, his first, is by far his best, and it's a bomb. That is pure funk in a bluesy way!

Incredible Music !!, October 4, 2006
This review is from: Blufunk Is a Fact (Audio CD)
Best Known in other countries than the US (a shame), Keziah Jones is an amazing artist , and Blufunk Is a Fact is his best album, so far. I first heard (and see) one song , don't remember which one, in MTV Latin America (back in Peru ,the 90's) , of course the guitars and the rythm capture me. Now on 2006 , I've rediscovered the art of Keziah. One friend told me Bluefunk is A Fact was the best album of the 90's, you know what , he's right.
