The Budos Band: The Budos Band (Indie Exclusive Colored Vinyl) Vinyl LP - PRE-ORDER
Debut album from the Staten Island instrumental soul group. The Budos Band sound is definitely leaning towards West African funk, but they do it with an emphasis on the funk more than the African. So there's no overt Fela tributes here or watered-down aping of "that sound," just tight instrumentals splashed with those synchronized low-tone horn blasts, clear rhythm guitar, and organ drones of death. Tracks range from the super mellow stuff like "Ghost Walk" (I like this style best) to horn jump-ups like "The Budos Theme" with most of it falling right in the middle. Their first single for Daptone had two of the real killers here, "TIBWF" and "Up From The South;" also check "Volcano Song" and their cover of "Sing A Simple Song."
- 20th anniversary edition
- translucent 'lava red' colored vinyl (please note: actual pressing color and packaging may differ from mock-up photo)
- indie exclusive
- original release year: 2005
- music label: Daptone Records 2026
