They have a lot of funky tunes. And if I have anything to say about it, Funk will never die |

<b>Prince</b> - new album is him back to his old self - his bass playing is brilliant and to my ears still sounding very original.
And lastly
<B>FISHBONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</B> they are awesome - and Norwood Fisher is in my top five of bassists who were a huge influence on me when I was starting out - what a great, great groove player.
| I guess I did get beat to the punch on that one. If your interested in some Soulive with Reggie Recordings from a live show, Id be glad to share them.
PS - Reggie Watts is the singer for Maktub, mentioned previously, mixes great with Soulive's groove.

| | | | for the guy who started this thread and everybody else who might read this, go and pick up "illoominutty" by Weapon of Choice. you all will thank me. this music is out there. way out. you haven't heard funk like this since early funkadelic or sly and the family stone. after illoominutty sinks in get one of their erlier records, "highperspice."
its worth it for the first song alone, "the n word." n word up.
