GEORGE CLINTON el capo de esta gente y de PARLIAMENT nace en 1940 y su base de operaciones la situa en Detroit ensayando en la trastienda de una barberia-peluqueria,cosa que musicalmente no nos dice nada pero que probablemente influiria en la estetica de la banda,que en una epoca donde era dificil llamar la atención ellos consiguieron ser los más marcianos de la tribu.
Fichan por el sello "Westbound" y este es su primer disco del año 70 aunque a lo largo del año publican otro más con uno de los mejores titulos que nunca se hayan utilizado ya sea para renombrar un LP o una canción "FREE YOUR MIND...
..AND YOUR ASS WILL FOLLOW",en el año 71 publican el tercero llamado"Maggot Brain" y para entonces ya se ha incorporado a la tribu otro fiera en este caso de las teclas un tal "Bernie Worrell", lo tenemos en listas de discos.
Los temas que compone George Clinton son Funk y Soul aderezados con la sicodelia imperante en la epoca y con un guitarra llamado EDDY HAZEL que es un fiera del instrumento.
el resto de la banda para este disco lo forman
Bill Nelson:Bass,Vocals
Tawl Ross:Guitar
Tiki Fulwood,Drums,Vocals
Mickey Atkins:Organ

Reseña pillada de Amazon, de Adam Holzman :

"Led by long-established New Orleans musicians drummer “Big John” John Thomassie, keyboard player Wayne DeVillier and guitarist Don Normand, Sweet Salvation could have been one of the all-time great r&b/funk/rock/gospel bands. Unfortunately due to business mis-steps and bad timing it was not meant to be. Also featuring 2 great women singers, DeEtta Little and Fritz Basket, and Alex Smith on bass, Sweet Salvation covered ground that includes New Orleans second line, blues, r&b, rock and 70’s funk. They were very much connected to Allen Toussaint and the Meters, but maybe heavier in sound and style, closer to rock.
The album “Sweet Salvation” also features 2 great cover tracks, very elaborate and creative arrangements of Randy Newman’s “Sail Away” and Aretha Franklin’s “Rock Steady“. “Sweet Salvation” also delivers some first-rate original tunes in what could have led to a powerful and unique style. It’s great to hear rock-solid r & b and second line grooves combined with Devillier’s brilliant and virtuosic piano playing, which is beautifully recorded (loud and thick sounding, not too bright) and is the backbone of the band’s sound. I know this record from the original vinyl, and I am glad to see that it has finally came out on CD!"

Ruth Copeland feat. Parliament - Gimme Shelter.The Invictus Sessions (2002 UK Soul-Funk)

timm envia:

Ruth Copeland was a Rock singer signed to the Invictus label in the early 70's

and in a happy coincidence so were Parliament/Funkadelic. The members of this

band form the backing group and the George Clinton influence is palpable on a

lot of the tracks. The opening to 'I Got a...' could be that of 'I Call My Baby

Pussycat' off Parliaments Invictus recordings.



Copeland cut two albums for Invictus and this CD is a compression of both. The

covers of the Stones on the record are good and again the P-Funk really shines

through. It's just nice to have a very powerful female vocalist blasting out

Rock numbers to what are essentially P-Funk backing tracks. Copeland's voice is

really loud at times, a cross between Betty Davis and the female vocalist from

Babe Ruth (incidentally, fans of her voice should check out 'First Base' by BR).



Altogether, you won't be listening to it everyday but it's a fun record to have,

either for Rock enthusiasts taking the first step into a plethora of funk or for

hardcore P-Funk completists.

blues folksinger. Combining her 1971debut album Self Portrait with 1972s I Am What

Este es un disco que solo fue posible publicar, gracias a Antxonin, que ha logrado encontrarlo a mi pedido en el hilo Que Estais Buscando ... muchisimas gracias chorbo, de corazón.
Igual quiero dedicarlo a Karajillo, que además de gustarle estos sonidos, sabia que yo, casi desde siempre, estaba buscando este discazo ... te va a gustar broda.
Lo tengo en vinilo, pero en la red, no lo habia visto nunca ... así, lo añadi de unas foticas vinilicas y voilá, acá lo tienen, pero con reseña en mi idioma.

Este é um daqueles discos que sempre gostei e continuo a gostar, de ouvir.
Comprei-o já não me lembro bem quando, talvez com os meus 16 ou 17 anos, e nem fazia ideia do que era ... qual não foi a minha surpresa quando o ouvi, e voltei a ouvir vezes sem conta.
Banda básicamente FUNK, com letras maiusculas, de uma alegria e bem estar enormes.
Muita sabedoria dão-nos temas como I'd Like To Know You Better, passando por What's On Your Mind e o fantástico tema Mr Cool (ouçam bem o diálogo entre eles, eheh), além de Dookey Shoe e pode mesmo dizer-se, de todos os outros temas.

Martin Dumas Jr e companhia, apresentam-nos aqui um disco riquissimo, de batida Funk, bastante Soul, e algo de Blues, que faz com que quanto mais o ouça, mais o queira ouvir.
Espero que desfrutem tanto quanto eu.

I love this record
