the Budos band long in the tooth

​The Budos Band (from the album Long in the Tooth available on Daptone Records) (by Bryant Liggett)
Old school R&B, Afro Soul or Afro-beat, Staten Island, NY’s The Budos Band continues to deliver all facets of Funk with a solid, horn-heavy punch. Layered but loose, gritty with a groove, The Budos Band’s latest, Long in the Tooth is a blaxploitation film soundtrack while also thumping off a Budos-branded Funk that hits hard for the Jam-band world. Deliciously old school and fresh as next week.
An alarm pulsing keyboard kicks off the opening title track, fading fast under the pushy horns, ultimately surrendering to a grunge guitar, scoring that a decades old, seedy street scene.  Hypnotic keyboard riffs fade behind a mid-tempo horn melody on “Snake Hawk”, “Dusterado” a slow groover, and “Haunted Sea” a head-bopper with long horn lines.  The riff that introduces “Gun Metal Grey” pushes the cut into a hint of spaghetti westerns, the dark, mysterious danger continuing through “Mierda De Toro”. The Budos Band dig into psychedelic exploration for album closer “Renegade”, where gospel organ gives way to sharp, Ravi Shankar-influenced guitar licks and knob turning controls the final :40 seconds of the track.  Big, layered and complex, Long in the Tooth is music that’s ripe for good time twirling while also being tunes that when pumped through your earbuds transport to rough and ready NYC streets circa 1975.
