Bubba Beyond - Land of a Thousand Doses

Ahh... This is more like it. THIS is why I went back to reviewing music for good old FHB. I like all kinds of music, and over the last few months, have been a fan of some world music, particularly gypsy music. This is easily the best rock/funk album I've heard in a while. I'm only halfway through, and I'm already in love with the solid grooves this thing has. I'm reasonably sure they have a free download somewhere, too.

They do! Just click on the link to go to their facebook page.

Bubba Beyond has easily mastered funk, hands down. Fortunately for them, even when they gently venture into non-funky realms, they still do a great job. While this disc starts off with some great funk on What You Growin'? and Don't Make Me Get Funky On Ya, it hits a nice stride later on, starting with a solid instrumental, All About More. Then it kind of gets into some good solid mellow rock towards the end. To be honest, I'm not surprised when I see one name in the lineup. T-Bone Pickett!

Groovin' towards the end of the disc, there's a wonderful treat in store, Land of 1000 Dance. It's a pretty solid remake of an old classic. I like, I like!

Finally, we groove out to the synth and guitar of Elf Portrait. Of all the tracks, it's actually rather underwhelming by comparison, but maybe BB felt like after all the shakin and groovin, it was time to just mellow out and slide away...

All in all, this is a very solid disc, and is good for almost whatever mood you're in. Drop in those funky beats during the day, and slow it down at night, when you're primping and trying on your best "ladies man" outfits. No Brut.

Not much else to say about Land of a Thousand Doses. Then again, with those samples they offer, I don't really have to! I gotta give it a good 5 out of 7 tokes.
