Editorial Reviews

A masterpiece of hard and heavy funk from one of the best bands of the early 70s! The Nite-Liters were a legendary funky combo that provided the backing for some of New Birth's best albums -- but on their own, they were even funkier, and had a sound that was part JBs, part Meters, and all funky! A few singers from The New Birth provide chorus vocals on a few tracks, but most of the set is instrumental. Every track's a gem and titles include: ""Drumology"", ""Excuse Me While I Do My Thing"", ""Serenade for a Jive Turkey"", ""Happy Hooker"", ""Craaashing"", ""Damn"", ""Pee-Foul"", and a sweet cover of ""Valdez in the Country"".

5.0 out of 5 stars best Nite-liters album, September 25, 2009

This review is from: A-Nal-Y-Sis (Audio CD)

I had this album back in the day. I must tell anyone who buys this CD, this album was made after The Nite-liters got together with the singing group "new Birth". When New birth made the album Birth Day, some of the tunes on this Nite liters album 'showcased" some of the outstanding musicians who played with the Nite Liters. The drummer and the bass player, were a very tight unit. There is a song that really shows them off called drumlogy, very good. But the main reason why I brought this album is the cover of the late Donny Hathaway's song, Valdez in the country. This song is really kicking, and i am real glad it's being released on CD now. People know about their other songs like, K-Jee, Afro Strut, and the other songs on the flip sides of these 45's, but the Nite Liters had a "following". When they became New birth, like anything else, after a few albums, things cooled off for them, until they left RCA, and went to Buddah records to record their next big hit "Dream Merchant". Get this CD, and when I get the ducks, I'm buying one, so I can play Valdez in the country to death! Maybe I'll get their greatest hits Cd again, with this CD, I'll have the complete Nite- Liters sound. From LP, which means Little Paul

Pretty good mostly instrumental funk by the Nite-Liters.

High quality instrumental work. Some of the tracks are a little long and with the lack of vocals, the CD can seem like a series of great jams more than an album

Still, if you like that idea, you'll like this.
