Product Description
Synopsis: The long-awaited new album from Galactic, the world's strongest jam-funk band from New Orleans! A thrilling masterpiece featuring a diverse range of guest singers! Galactic releases their first new studio album in over three years, "All Ready, Ready, All Ready." This renowned New Orleans-based instrumental group takes a distinctly contemporary approach to their signature progressive sound. They incorporate modern rhythms and electronic instrumentation into the framework of their audience-shaking crescent city funk-pop-roll. Produced by members Robert Mercurio and Ben Ellman, this new album sees Galactic once again seeking the collaboration of a wide variety of guest vocalists to help them explore their music. Each artist adds a poetic flavor and their own unique personality to the band's multifaceted groove. The album, titled "All-Lady, Lady, All-Lady," opens and closes with two powerful instrumental tracks that have become Galactic's trademark. From the stripped-down bass drum kicks and snaps of vocals on "Going Straight Crazy," featuring New Orleans singer Princess Shaw (a YouTube sensation), to the quirky, rapid-fire rap of punk cabaret artist Boyfriend on the furiously fast "Dance At My Funeral," the album is short and an unmistakable blast of creative muscle. As always, Galactic's diverse musical interests make easy genre classifications utterly impossible. "All-Lady, Lady, All-Lady" is as inclusive and universal as the band's name has long been established. "We couldn't put a name to what we were doing," says Elman. "I could put it into a lot of words. You could call it funk, or R&B, or jazz, or anything else. But really, it's all of those things." Media reviews and more: The long-awaited album from Galactic, New Orleans' proud and world-class jam-funk band! A thrilling masterpiece featuring a diverse range of guest singers! (C)RS
