CROWN ROYALS "Funky-Do!" CD ES1255 CD-ONLY OUT OF PRINT

Chicago's galvanic groove grinders THE CROWN ROYALS have scraped the shit offa their shoes, but left plenty under their fingernails, on their 10-track sophomore instro soul explosion, the "Funky-Do!" CD! This fortuitously funkified foray proves that these boys are tighter than the jowels of a freshly face-lifted club matron at midnight. From the searing J.B.'s/Meters-style funk of "Old Skin" and "Thug" to the gritty down n' dirty backseat grind of "Liquid Wrench" "Funky-Do!" has got the grooves! That's right, grooves! "Really Good Grooves!" so says former Aretha Franklin rythmician, James Brown time twister, Hank Crawford drum alum, alleged Beatle skin-basher, and R&B meter meister #1, Bernard Purdie! In fact Mr. Purdie dug The Crown Royals cyclonic strut so much that he recently sat in with the boys for a sweat soaked set. So take a tip from the old school and get hip to the NEW old school with a little "Funky-Do!"....don't forget THE CROWN ROYALS debut detonator the "All Night Burner" LP/CD ES1236. NOTE: The Crown Royals feature non-other than renowned Free Jazz heavyweight Ken Vandermark (The Vandermark 5, Steam) workin' the sax...
