Bobby Byrd was one of the most famous "under the radar" musicians ever!!
First of all you likely might not know but Bobby was an essential part of the backing group of James Brown. Byrd was responsible for a lot of James Brown's fame having funded and written most of his big hits! Byrd also wrote for "Tower of power" and other funk and soul artists....But the one thing he never did was release too many solo albums.
.....and wait till you hear his voice!!!
"On The Move" was only his second solo release and this thing is a monster of funk and soul. In fact this is one of my most played funk albums still to this date! I could not recommend a better funk album ever! This album is full of crazy wild funk and adventureous soul that will keep your toes tapping and your air bass guitar alive!!!
Stylistically this is a mix of James Brown meets Sly and The Family Stone meets Tower Of Power....
Byrd's voice is awesome and totally powerful.....funk master at work !
Get on up..............
