High Fashion "Feelin Lucky" Album Review
High Funk
Short-lived funk trio (featuring Melisa Morgan), courtesy of the brilliant Jacques Fred Petrus and his team of high-quality studio musicians from Italy, at the height of the early '80s smooth R&B-funk groove era. Brilliant '80s R&B mastermind Kashif (Evelyn King, Melba Moore, Kenny G, George Benson) also makes an appearance on 3 songs, producing 2 of the tracks (most notably the silky-smooth dance gem "Hold On"). Despite their catchy hooks and irresistible grooves, some of their productions were a tad repetitive and they didn't really seem to catch on to audiences seeking something fresh, new and unique. However, the team involved maintained their quality and professionalism and the group released 2 albums that are deserving of a place in quality R&B's history. Out of print for many years, it is a great pleasure to see this seemingly forgotten treasure uncovered. It's just a shame that music of this caliber isn't made anymore.

This is a great early 80s R&B track. Off High Fashion's 1982 LP "Feelin' Lucky." This was done especially for Rory via randsproductions.

Ebony Rhythm Band "Soul Heart Transplant" Album Review
You'll Need A Heart Transplant
Get ready for some very high energy drumming, tripped out organ riffs and nasty guitar! This set features some of the best psychedelic instrumental cuts I have ever heard. If you like funk, rock, and jazz all rolled up into a batch of instrumentals then this disc is to die for. I must say that this has to be one of my greatest finds and cd purchases this year or in a very long time. A highly valued addition to my collection.
The set starts of with the title track, "Soul Heart Transplant" which is a tripped-out hipster-styled tribute to "The Meters". Very funky and highly syncopated beats. Then the set moves to an instrumental cover of the "Doors" classic "Light My Fire".
This tone is continued on the next couple of tracks with "Vanilla Fudge" cranking up the tripped out factor. Check the ending with that olde horror-movie-style break! classic stuff here!
Then, We get treated to the ultimate psycedelic-acid jazz/rock cut (and the only cut that is not instrumental) "Drugs Ain't Cool". This cut features some of the fastest drumming I have ever heard besides Mahavishnu Orchestra's Billy Cobham and Grand Funk Railroad's drummer. The drummer seems to like to create that (rolling) style of drumming and it works for this set.
The next couple of tracks are of this same tone...Very fast with the same rolling style of drumming only not quite as hard as Drugs Ain't Cool.
Ebony Rhythm slows things down a little on the last 3 cuts and shows that while they were a serious force to reckon with in the downright hard and funky style of playing, They could also play slow stuff as well.
"Can I Call You Baby" is a beautiful track that proves this statement and although soft, The drummer never seems to stop that rolling style of playing which rounds it all off.
"It's Too Late" practically has the same tone and then we get treated to yet another slow,sweet instrumental "Fool Am I". This is the only track that the group uses horns on. Classic!
Hopefully, Funkheads,Head music lovers and Instrumental/Beat/Break heads and psychedelic rock fans can tell by my enthusiasm that this disc is highly valued in my collection. I am willing to bet it will have the same effect on yours. If you like Acid Jazz/Funk groups or beats and breaks then don't hesitate to pick this one up!
