Kick This Bucket

Soul Bucket

1998
Re-post (This is one that needs to be heard)Even though this album has been posted up here before and over at D'Boss' Fat City Cigar Lounge it needs to be out there as much as possible for all to hear. One of my favorites. Make it yours.

Review:

Have you ever slapped a record on your old turntable, hit play, and suddenly lost all control of your body, then found yourself sweating on the dance floor, uncontrollably shaking your money-maker? Did your lack of rhythm, style, coordination make you look like a complete fool? Did you dig the groove so much that you didn't care? Well, if you answered YES to any of these questions, then the new long-player Soul Bucket by The Civil Tones is for you! Soul Bucket will go down as the hottest "get off your ass and dance record" of the year!!!

The Civil Tones are back! The boys from St. Louis stocked the pond full of soul-soaked R&B instrumental grooves and pulled out some fresh catches. The Civil Tones mix together southern soul from the 60s (stuff you might find on old Stax or Hi records labels), early funk, latin grooves, and surf sounds, with arrangements that take sudden twists and turns in tempo, feel, and style. Hey, and they don't have a pretty-boy, ego-inflated lead vocalist to get in the way, but take the most melodic and catchiest parts of their Hammond organ, bass, guitar and drums to fuel the "Civil Tone" sound.

OK, enough talkin', now put Soul Bucket in that CD player and start groovin'!!!
