Connie Price & The Keystones - Wildflowers
(CD/2xLP) Now-Again Records NA5014, 2004-11-02

Info :
Entre Keb Darge et les New Mastersounds anglais, les Dap-Kings de Sharon Jones, née à Augusta en Georgie (comme James Brown!), les Poets of Rhythm allemands, Antibalas à Brooklyn, les Breakestra de Los Angeles, les vrais amateurs de funk sont servis car les sorties pleuvent, toutes plus terribles les unes que les autres. Et à cette liste incroyable il faut désormais ajouter une nouvelle ligne de raw funk instrumental et indispensable (et inversement): Connie Price & The Keystones, super-groupe monté par Dan Ubick (guitariste de Breakestra) avec le batteur Connie Price et des membres d'Antibalas, de Breakestra, des Dap-Kings, des Poets Of Rhythm, du L.A. Carnival, etc., bref un peu toute la bande citée précédemment. Grâce à qui le revival funk bat son plein sur toute la planète...
