4.0 out of 5 stars The other reviewers are wrong!, February 6, 2003

By A Customer

I have to completely disagree with the other reviewers. Even though you may not have heard of Dag, this album exhibits some of the best, funkiest, downright nastiest infectius grooves. Check out 'Sweet Little Lass', 'Lovely Jane', 'You Can Lick It', and 'Candy' - Those 4 songs are all worth the price of this CD alone! Take it from me, I own about 2000 cds, and this is definitly a keeper if you like anything from James Brown to Groove Collective. By the way, this is the first time I read a review and just knew that the other reviewers were completely 100% wrong about this album. I'm not associated with Dag in any way, just a fellow musichead trying to tell you whats up and set the record straight about Dag Righteous.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is one of the GREATEST FUNKIN' RECORDS, December 26, 2003

By	"teeplo" (Minneapolis, MN United States) - See all my reviews

DAG -Dem are Grooves- Is the kind of band America should be full of. It doesn't matter that it's a group of white kids in a predominately black genre. They nail it. They kick it off with "Sweet Little Lass", which to me is one of the two weaker songs on the album. It has some good lines but for the most part it carries on at the end. The other song that is a little weak is "As". I understand the Sly and Family Stone feel they were shooting for, but Sly was a little to strange for anybody else to pull off successfully. The tracks that really pulled me in were:

"Even So" -- This song is big and FULL of music. It makes you move and they added in crowd noise here and there. It is strange production but good.

"Plow" just an all out funk attack

Then there are the two "baby-makin" tunes, "Candy" and "You Can Lick it". Don't miss those.

Look if you don't buy this album, you're a fool or you don't like funk and I think that puts you back in the fool catagory.

5.0 out of 5 stars Addictive, Fun Listening, January 12, 2006

By	O. J. Dean (Texas, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

A very, very good debut... Some excellent stuff on here, like "Sweet Little Lass" and "Lovely Jane". Rather hard to describe besides saying that it's sort of a fusion of pop, rock, funk, and occasionally oldies-style stuff by a great band who bring back that funk infusion to the twenty-first century. . Just buy it and listen to it without expecting something completely fresh and you'll be pleased.
