Upsidedown Tomato Plants (and Clyde) Rule!
author: Suzanne
Lived next to Clyde in the late 90's...so many memories, especially his pride in growing tomato plants upside down on his patio...and bringing him great gifts from our trip to Jamaica! I bought every Clyde CD I could locate for Aaron for Christmas...no disappointments! AND I found these great folks at CDBaby...will buy nowhere else now...you ROCK, guys (and gals, where appropriate)! Can't wait to get back to Madison to hear Clyde LIVE!!!

The CD FIND THE GROOVE definitely lived up to its name. I found the groove alright and struck more than just the groove: I've struck the FORT KNOX OF FUNK!!!! The songs have a Funky blues vibe to it which I really admire, but it definitely has that old school Funky Drummer style drumbeats that their well-know for that I absolutely LOVE. Clyde Stubblefield, and John 'Jabo' Starks are the most influential drummers of the second half of the 20th century. I'm a huge James Brown fan, but I got to be honest, I'm very unhappy that James didn't give these drummers as well as the entire band the credit they so highly desired back in his heyday (1965-1974). In the past, James' super-ego, unnecessary tyranny ways, and at times verbally degrading the band had somewhat interfered with the creativity and progression of the best musicians that God has ever put on earth. James career could have gone alot further, maybe still be on the Top 100 or even the Top 40 today had he treated his musicians better and had respected them more and most importantly knew how to control his own ego and use it wisely. So to all of the Funksters, Hip-Hoppers, Punk Rockers, and Drum-n-Bass Heads who stumble on this website and see this CD, PLEASE do these Funky Drummers a big favor and buy the CD, it's really ON POINT!!!
