Haha, yes. I said that because of his hands, especially his right hand. There's very little movement, it just looks effortless.

I didn't have time to look into it...but Chassol, was that meant to be a stand-up combined with music to begin with, or the mashup was done as an afterthought? It's brilliant either way. (I only mostly listened to it in the car)

There is little to no risk in suggesting James Brown but I heard this again the other day and yah this is cool:

I also realize that I couldn't play or learn those opening guitar riffs - simple as they are - can't find the words why but something like my wrist is too tense, my ass is too tight - I need more lightheartedness, mirth, trouble-making in my playing.

I remember my first encounter with Charlie Hunter was when he was playing with Garage a Trois, a cover of If 6 was 9. I could not understand how there was no bassist. Truthfully, as long as I've been watching the guy, I'm still lost.

Larry's James Brown post reminded me of this act. The Womack Sisters could be considered Soul Music royalty. Their grandfather is Sam Cooke and their parents are Linda (Sam's daughter) and Cecil Womack (of Womack Brothers/Valentinos fame) who performed together as Womack & Womack in the 80s.

But, The Sisters are no nepo-babies. They just released their debut on neo-soul label Daptone Records, which has been the home to Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings, Charles Bradley, The Budos Band, and much more. This music could have been produced 60 years ago, but still sounds fantastic and fresh. If you dig this, you'll like pretty much anything in the Daptone catalog.

The whole album is standup mixed with music but he does that sort of musical speech thing throughout the album. It is pretty fascinating in how it shows how musical speech can be. I tried to do it a little bit with some spoken word stuff but either my ear couldn't pick it up or the speech wasn't very tonal.

The whole album is great. There's a mix of light and raunchy comedy. It's funny too how he takes a punchline and then repeats it over and over. Totally bizarre and fascinating.
