Hamilton Bohannon ‎– Insides Out

DJ HARVEY CLASSIC!

A wonderful early record from Bohannon – and with a very different feel than usual! Although most of Bohannon’s work from the time is up-tempo and funky, side two of this album has some amazing slow spacey cuts – done with a drum sound that’s still quite hard, but just slower than usual, in a style that creates some nice stepping grooves that are augmented by some wild off-beat, out-of-tune piano work! Sounds like it shouldn’t work, but it does – and the ultimate moment on the album is the amazing “Thoughts And Wishes”, a cool instrumental that’s been a major steppers track in Chicago for years. Side one is more in the usual Bohannon funk mode – and tracks on the album include “Disco Stomp”, “Foot Stompin Music”, “Love Is Fading”, and “Happy Feeling”.
