Any of you funksters heard the the new Joe Bataan LP, Call My Name?
It's pretty good.
Especially like Chick-A-Boom (for obvious reasons) and Cycles Of You.
" I'm not too big on digging heroes making modern comebacks, but the feedback on this new Joe Bataan has been undeniable (you guys ate up over 100 copies of the Chick-A-Boom 7"!). First off, they got the cover art straight, no need to see a full gloss picture of an aging Mr. Bataan, just a classy duotone pic 70s style. Next up, producer Daniel Collas has provided the perfect, polished backing for Mr. Bataan's vocals. Enlisting help from the Daptone crew, the sound sparkles with the correct energy, whether it's the smooth soul like opener "Call My Name," break jobs like the aforementioned "Chick-a-Boom," or the heavy latin stuff like "Chevere Que Chevere." This couldn't have come in a at a better time, Summer is officially here! Recommended. 8 tracks in all"
