3 out of 5 stars Needs editing.......2006-02-26

Robert Walter's funk-jazz album is pretty good, but ultimately would be better with two or three of the weaker songs lopped off. The drumming seat is filled by either Stanton Moore or Johnny Vidacovich. Both of these can guys can play a funky drumbeat. "Kickin' Up Dust" is a highlight. Unfortunately, some of the songs are just flat.

5 out of 5 stars Percussive gumbo stew!.......2006-02-03

For lovers of Hammond B3 music this album is highly recoomended. Walter also manages to get some clavinet, piano and melodica in there as well,as well as adding more percussion. The album is highly percussive with not only Stanton Moore but Johnny Vidacovich adding drums,cymbals and percussion to a variety of the tracks. Its driven along by James Singleton on Bass and some splendid, often tortured Tenor Sax work from James Singleton. To add to the variety Anthony Farrell, described as 'a special guest' is quoted as providing vocals on tracks 3,5 and 7, but if you find them please let me know! Recorded in New Orleans in January 2005 the tracks seem to have been recorded in a relaxed manner, with a lot of studio backchat. There are a variety of styles 'Criminals have a name for it' has a tricky percussion led intro which builds to a strong finish. '34 Small' is a much more moody effort whilst "Don't hate, congratulate' together with 'Big Dummy' are my current favourite tracks. One further point, the sleeve notes note that it is "enhanced" and certainly the difference between playing it on the in-car stereo and letting it rip on my domestic system was marked. I hesitated before purchasing and I really do wish that I'd had the foresight to buy it on its release.

5 out of 5 stars ALL FUNKED UP!.......2006-02-02

With drummers Stanton Moore and Johny Vidocovich on board you can always expect some funky stuff. Walter's organ screams over some of the slickest N.O. drumming grooves anywhere. Solid tunes played by top guys who know how to make their instruments sound loose and happy.
