Tight, cooking (railroad) track. Great tone, blistering bass. Cool rhythm/lead guitar. Ascenzion horns. Yep, here comes that organ. Ascenzion's stokin' the soul train engine of the Funk Train, turning up the heat and booging down the line! First class car now boarding for funky town. Outstanding!

Contagious funk groove with wide range of flavours, top musicianship with stunning production and instrument mastering. A mix of big band, jazz, funky, acid, all blended together in a tasty way.

Master class musicianship as well as Master class studio engineering! Love it!! Vintage tape is where its at! Awesome!! Your a true pro!!
INCREDIBLE - GREAT - Rock Jazz Funk, Al!!!!! Once again, you have demonstrated, for the music world, your range of briliance in song. This tune is Top 10 SC now, and should make #1 as it is that good. Thanks for the super '70s music memories set to a modern upbeat mode, also thank you for the dl.
