Bassist for James Brown and Parliament-Funkadelic, Bootsy's solo career has been a George Clinton produced extension of the P-Funk philosophy, with Collins portraying the role of "Starchild, Player of the Year." Collins' vocals, are off-handedly cool in the manner of Jimi Hendrix, whose flamboyance Collins unmistakably aspires to. However, the music is definitely in the Parliament vein, with practically everyone from the band's late-'70s peak aboard, including Mike Hampton, Jerome Brailey and the horny horns. Conceptually, sci-fi reins, and the watery sound of Collins' aqua-bass doesn't get in the way of a mostly up-tempo album. This might be his best solo work. --D. Strauss

Customer Reviews:

Yo' Bootsy, let me borrow ya spaceship, I'll bring it right back!.......2007-02-12

This man along with the Funk Master George Clinton single handedly changed the way I looked at music in my younger years.

They created a concept and an imaginary world where funky music was fun.

George Clinton and Bootsy Collins R the undeniable tag team of funk in its most purest form.

This CD is Bootsy's coolest one to date.
From the CD cover to the songs on the project,...U can just feel the era of funk that rocked us all back then.
I'm definitely a Rubber Fan for life.

Back in the Day.......2006-03-11

It reminds me of the time when I was 18 and stood in line for hours for Bootsy Concert Tickets...

DEEP In The STANK!!.......2006-03-03

WOW! Now this is what the Funk is about! The best Bootsy Rubberband album. Side A is so Funk stank, you need a respirator to listen to it! Side B is the funky ballad side. Munchies is Bootsy's greatest song which has his best bass work from that era.

Abstract Funk.......2005-06-21

the guitar in the background of munchies for your love sounds like eddie hazel or jimi phoning it in from heaven or wherever great guitiarist go.This Is Bootsy's Electric Ladyland Pinnochio Theory is off the beaten path but on the one funk. Rubber duckie is bing Crosby,Looney tunes funk.Whats a telephone Bill Has a great line "wait a minute operator I wasn't talking to you" It's like bootsy's Octo pu-pu-pu-pusses line from be my beach. Ilove this abstract slice of funk.

SAY BOOTSY!!!!!.......2005-02-06

I kid you not-THIS ALBUM IS CRAZED!!!The critics are all 100% right-'Ahh...The Name Is Bootsy,Baby' should carry a disclaimer saying 'Warning:This album will FUNK YOU UP'.Maybe one complaint is that,at least on the uptempo cuts Bootsy doesn't know when to relax-this is hyper extended funk that's loud,cacaughanous and obviously bassy to the extreme.The first side just punches right in with the insane title track,doesn't change a thing on "Pinocchio Theory" and "Rubber Duckie" then smooths out on the calmer ballad styles of "Munchies For Your Love" and "What's A Telephone Bill" on the second half,pointing out what a strong straight singer and good songwriter Bootsy is.
Of course it's right back into funk with the slower burning groove of "Can't Stay Away" with it's crazy cartoon vocals.So in conclusion if your not into having disco mixed in with your funk or think George Clinton's Parliafunkadelicment Thang is a bit self indulgant for your tastes this (as well as most of Bootsy's other solo albums of this period) deliver the funk in a far less refined way-giving it up straight,or totally out of shape as the Rubber Band will give it!
