is a great riding around in your car "Time Traveling" CD. It takes you
back to that late 60's early 70's sound. Big afros, funky horn sections,
the blending of musical styles, and fat-back drumming. Buddy Miles is the
star of this show and when you hear him sing and play drums there's
absolutely no confusion as to who this is. His drumming is extremely
solid, VERY powerful, and the groove is thick as a brick.
As a singer, not even Sly Stone was able to combine Gospel, R&B, Soul, and Rock vocal stylings the way he did. When he screams you feel like you're in Church. Though the earlier material has an Electric Flag feel to it (But a hell of a lot funkier!), you begin to hear his evolution and him coming into his own starting with the songs produced by Jimi: "Miss Lady" and "69 Freedom Special". Billy Cox makes an appearance on Fuzz Bass on the song "Them Changes" with a full blown horn section playing the main riff. Hope you like horns because there's horns everywhere on this recording. But in a good way. It's a very well put together greatest hits package with good liner notes giving you a basic chronology of his musical life. The zenith of his career being the voice of the California Raisins and the collaboration with Billy Cox, Paul Rogers, and Slash on the project Stone Free: A Tribute to Jimi Hendrix. BIOGRAPHY
