Editorial Reviews

Sugar's Boogaloo, was the Sugarman Three's debut album. Since it's initial release on Desco Records nearly ten years ago, it has grown to be a sought after classic among funk, soul, and organ-jazz enthusiasts. It's raw organ-driven grooves are exemplary of the early phase of a band that would become a staple on the scene and are the perfect backdrop for a summer barbecue or a late-night hang. --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

If you are a fan of funk "revival," you can't do much better than the Sugarman Three. They are super-funky, and very authentic. This CD however, is only okay. First of all, it could be longer. Some of their covers sound unimaginative, especially "Papa's Got A Brand New Bag." There are some strong songs and moments here, but I definitely prefer their CD, "Pure Cane Sugar," a real masterpiece!

This review is from: Sugar's Boogaloo (Audio CD)

when i first bought this album i was a little bummed out. being a non conventional record buyer, i buy things in non-sequential order, meaning i got the last two sugarman 3 before their first. the last two albums to me are a fantastic example of what Daptone and co. have to offer. so the first couple times listening i neglected the fact this is a band thats classic and their capturing that classic soul-jazz sound, almost comparatively to lou donaldson, or brother jack mcduff. this album really grew on me, and i figured id try to see what other though, and all i heard was that it sounded like "elevator" music. so to the listener who isnt familiar to the roots of this album, maybe wont enjoy this. If you dont want to have to do alittle research before buying this CD or LP, id suggest working your way backwards, and hopefully youll wanna hear where these artist started off. or just skip it and go directly in an opposite direction to Budos Band I. absolutely no disappointments whatsoever there.The Budos Band

Be careful, this music will cause you to involuntarily dance. Better yet, see these guys in concert.
