Grade: A+
Brothers and sisters, I present to you a reading from the gospel of funk, delivered by the High Priest of Funk Bootsy Collins. “Tha Funk Capital of the World,” Bootsy’s 23rd studio album, is both a tribute to the great funk masters and a chronology of the genre itself. The album has a long list of super-star cameo appearances including collaborations with Bela Fleck, Buckethead, Snoop Dog and Samuel L. Jackson. But Collins’ bass shines through on each track with the very funk he successfully pays tribute to.
