Jam band fans will have a whaka-whooka of a good time here with a funk filled collection of tunes by Jah Wobble/b and Bill Sharpe/key as leaders. Along with Marc Layton-Bennett/dr and Sean Corby/tp-fh, the band goes from R&B back snapping tunes like “You Make Me Happy” (with vocals by PJ Higgins and guitar by Fridrik Karlsson) to laid back groove tunes like the title track. Lots of riff-bass melodies as on “In the Beat of the Night” and “Spanish Place” which may require special clawed shoes to climb out of the deep crevasse created by the thrym team. The trumpet works serves as a good foil with “Spanish Place” having an extra Andalusian atmosphere. Definitely not library music!
