Releases from artist / Veröffentlichungen von : The Dynamites

two years after kaboom, the dynamites and charles walker are about to release their second album, burn it down. powerfull, ambitious, fed by the new experiences of a globe traveller band. absolutely funk and deeply soul, burn it down is an abrasive album, intense, just like it was about to explode in any moment. now you re warned, you have to be careful when you handle dynamite.

kaboom is the first album by funk revivalists the dynamites, featuring charles walker. featuring charles walker is key to understanding the bands sound, and not because charles walker is a well known funk luminary. its debatable whether walker can offer any real name recognition. but the dynamites are exactly the type of troupe to include featuring in their name: that added touch doesnt merely evoke the tradition of a tight ensemble backing band, featuring is distinctly an element of the past. in sound, the group bears a resemblance to a number of famous funk ensembles, including (obsequiously) james browns backing band, the j.b.s. in their quest to reach the essence of funk music, the dynamites march out a cadre of old funk tropes and well tested jazz techniques. and they do it in rare form.

the birth of rock steady portrayed in a consummate collection from the vaults of federal records. most of them drawn directly from ken khouri’s master tapes this miscellany of cool rock steady includes marvellous music from the originator of the genre, the one and only lynn taitt, alongside an array of jamaica’s greatest singers and vocal harmony group.
