A killer one from The Bar-Kays, a heavy Funk spectacular all the way through!! Gotta Groove is an amazing work from that new version of The Bar-Kays, a group who reformed to become a combo as heavy as any of the best funky groups from Detroit, LA, or New York at the time!! There's a style here that's a sweet Memphis distillation of ideas bubbling under in music by Sly Stone, Funkadelic, and others, taken to new territory here by a group that was already steeped in 60´s Soul instrumental sounds!! The cuts show a great ear for simple hooks and playful instrumental twists and turns, still with a bit of the trumpet used on Bar-Kays work of the past, but more in a groove that lets the guitar step out nicely with Psychedelic Soul undercurrents!!Tracklisting:
