KC and the Sunshine Band "KC and the Sunshine Band" Album Review
a solid greatest hits package geared toward the casual fan
KC & The Sunshine Band created some really great music during those disco days; and this CD helps to bring back many fond memories. As other reviewers have written, there are more comprehensive retrospective CDs out there; but for the casual fan like me this is really great!
The tracks are five star quality! "Get Down Tonight" sports that funky 1970s disco beat with some great sound effects; the drums, percussion and electric guitars come in to carry the bulk of the melody. The band sings to the funky melody to make this a memorable tune! "I'm Your Boogie Man" has some great percussion and H. W. "KC" Casey sings this straight out of the ballpark! Love that disco beat and the backup chorus on "I'm Your Boogie Man," too!
One of the band's greatest hits comes next, "(Shake Shake Shake) Shake Your Booty." This ode to dancing and having fun for the sake of having fun has a very catchy melody; and they don't leave any doubt that they're encouraging romantic times as well! "That's The Way (I Like It)" has a great female backup chorus; and "KC" Casey sings this to perfection. This is one song that has a rhythm and beat that you just can't fight! SMILE
"Keep It Comin' Love" starts with some really fine electric guitar; and when they start singing this number takes off like a rocket! That infectiously happy disco beat will catch you yet. "Please Don't Go" gives us a song in a whole new genre; this time the band sings a slower paced number. "KC" Casey and the backup vocalists sing so well about wanting their lover not to leave them; and the percussion enhances the natural beauty of this love ballad.
"Wrap Your Arms Around Me" certainly gets back to that disco flavored style of music; the vocalists harmonize to perfection and I love that beat!
The liner notes include some great artwork; and we get a few black and white photos of the artists, too. There's a good essay about the band as well.
Harry Wayne "KC" Casey and the Sunshine Band certainly had more than just a day or two in the sun; and we are better off for their terrific tunes. It's also good to know that we can still enjoy their music on CD today. If you're a diehard fan, I would suggest that you consider a more thorough retrospective than this particular CD gives. For the casual fan, however, this CD is absolutely awesome!
Video K.C. and the Sunshine Band - Shake Your Booty
K.C. and the Sunshine Band happened to be the featured band at Captain Planet's X-Mas Party 2005 in Atlanta. The old guy assembled an energetic band of dancers and solid musicians. Better than the original. ;-)

Percy Hill "Color in Bloom" Album Review
One of the Greatest Albums of All Time
I have listened to a lot of music in my life - that's basically what I do. I first heard this album in an Econo Lodge in New Haven, CT surrounded by new friends and a bottle of whiskey. The joy in hearts when 313 came on is unique and will be with me forever - "Take my life if you are able, I don't want to be here when they come to take me in" sung with pop hooks and a jazz beat, brought tears to my eyes. The rest of the album is just as stunning. Sun Machine is a mastery of controlled power using rythm chords to a manifest pure joy and freedom. Even though this album won the Jammy album of the yeaar in 2000 it is still largely unheard and deserves more attention. The members of PH are pure muscians and people in touch with the rythm of the universe.
Video After All the Color Bloomed the Boat was Set Straight Adrift
Just a little PH art i did. First I made the still shot. Just tried to sum up The Hill with a couple different shouts and symbols I know the PH fans will get. After staring at the still for too long, I realized still shots are boring, let's see it in motion.. with sound! YEESSSS!
