MOG

damn I love you crate-diggin' boys. Let's have a party! This is awesome. How come the doggy isn't dancin'?

aaah desco, they kinda started the raw funk thing didn't they..aways back I knew a cat who worked at Desco and he invited me out to a Lee Fields/Sharon Jones gig..It twas awesome

This moves the Booty. One wonders how does one dance the Hook and Sling? What are you hooking and what are you slinging?

mog is acting weird again and i got my replies deleted. I agree mog is cool but it has to be the worst for technical issues. more than being called music junkies, we should be called music martyrs..

dejoe & FP111, glad you like it guys.

mktackaberry. I agree, that doggie is lifeless & the cd cover is more than an amateur effort, but still the music in it is great.

cool, cody. that must have been some great gig, I never saw those 2 together. lee fields played here with the daptones & another time with the sugarman 3. I am ashamed to confess I missed sharon jones twice already, the next one is my chance.

I have no idea how to hook & sling but I am sure the original tune had specific dance steps to follow. there is a good review of the eddie bo’s tune here http://funky16corners.tripod.com/6_eddie_bo.htm

really enjoying this tonight

Hell yeah, Eddie Bo and various Eddie Bo productions are some o' the funkiest in the field. Here's Hip Drop Pt's 1+2 by The Explosions produced by Mr.Bo

glad you like it kkiddo.

what a great tune, cody. I wasnt familiar with that eddie bo production. another 7" to buy. thanks, man.

Sharon Jones had me bouncing, grooving, and believing I could all about the place - really enjoyed this funky lil' gem!

heh, it is a good one, isnt it? glad you like it, girlcrawl.

Yow! Too too funky!

The "Spike's Choice" compilation is available at emusic.com - on a song-by-song basis.(I bought the entire collection myself - it's great!)

Emusic also offers an Eddie Bo collection called The Hook and Sling. I'm not familiar with it, but AllMusic.com gave it 4.5 out of 5 stars.

I don't have a canine persona like dermahrk, so it must not have been me who had the initiative to assemble this choice compilation. I bet it's good, but can't hear anything because I'm out of town and this internet room doesn't have the right plug-in to play Mog tracks. Can't wait to get home and hear "Cut and Sling Meets the Funky Superfly."

thanks a lot for the info, pjebsen. anything with the eddie bo name on it is worth buying, go for it!

spike - hah, i thought of you while i was posting this compilation.

It ain't the original but it's nice to know someone out there's willing to cover good ol' Eddie! And she definitely rocks it in her own way.
