![]() ![]() (PRESS RELEASE) After a whirlwind tour that the police couldn’t even stop, I assembled the Funk Revolution in my one-room cabin, called Chez Jojo. Listen to Lucky Brown – Lucky Brown’s Space Dream HERE Definitely one for fans of that Bullfrog side project Kid Koala did about ten years ago or even very early G Love & Special Sauce as well as good ol’ southern fried funk. Funny that, because some of it at least was recorded at a log-cabin by a lake. Were someone to tell you that this was recorded in a shack somewhere out on a bayou that was cheap to hire because the place was right in the middle of ‘gator country – you’d be inclined to believe it. In fact it’s a very earthy kind of funk with a whiff of the swamp about it. For, despite the Space Dream title, Lucky’s is far from the acid-fried prog-funk of Funakadelic and The Undisputed Truth that you might expect. And when I say ‘dawn of funk, I mean a time when someone else with the surname Brown was experimenting with adding a heavily syncopated beat to mid-sixties soul. Lucky Brown has availed himself of the mind-expanding properties of what might best be described as very mature cheddar but his particular space dream seems to have taken him on a funky trip back to the dawn of funk. It was after I ate some cheese that had been in the fridge a while, by mistake.
