Album: The Budos Band II
I like to own music. There’s something satisfying about the ritual of discovering a new piece of music, ripping off the plastic and reading the liner notes while lighting a spliff to some new heat. From time to time, I visit Slinky Music(442 Queen St. W Toronto, Canada) to up my heatery quotient. My man Rooz put me on to this Budos Band joint the last time I was in. The band with a big horn section is enjoying quite the renaissance right now (see my post on the Hypnotic Brass Ensemble).

The album plays like a b-boy classic, front to back. And as with all Daptone recordings, the actual recording of the album sounds raw as hell. Just check out their cover of “My Girl”. Yes, that “My Girl”. Take some soul, bitches.
