2.0 out of 5 stars FORMATIVE AND TO BE HONEST NOT THAT SPECIAL., March 8, 2006

This is no 'feel the peel' in actually fact i was really dissapointed at how uninspired it really is. The versions on 'rowdy duty' are far, far superior and virtually unreconizable. The jamming is kept to a bare minimum and when they do stretch out it just meanders with no punch. What really irritated me was the silly dialogue between some of the songs, it just isn't very funny. If you like the track 'bone' (i think it is dull) then the psuedo reggae grooves on this will be a bonus. Then again when it is good it is worth the purchase (i'd say about 50/50) There just isn't enough of that gritty funk which reminds me of the highly underrated Cold Blood and vocalist Jen is up there with Lydia Pearce as ine of the great funk singers. When she cuts loose it makes me realise just how great DBB really are, but it isn't enough unfortunately. Don't take this often poor effort as a introduction, go to the other albums first. For completists only, but then again anything with Jen on vocals is worth buying.

The folks of DBB are fantastic. Grab some Maceo Parker, a little P-Funk, and mix it al up with the four DBB discs available from Amazon sellers. A good time is inevitable!! This is happy music, maybe some of the happiest... and this review comes from an embittered 30 something!
