Title: Pioneers of Funk Punk
Product review: This is a CD of the first albums by the Big Boys. The music, like all other early 80's punk, gets harder and faster with each album.The Big Boys were upbeat, unapologetic Texan Anarchists who pioneered the used of funk rifts and horn lines in a very punk rock, invent-your-own-funner-world kinda way. (They had to do it; they lived in chicken-fried Jesus with gravy Texas!) The insert explains that Big Boys lived out the 'stone soup' parable, but with a legion of art freak punks. It's really great to see in action.Although the Red Hot Chili Peppers followed their musical lead, and got naked - they never reached the all-out ecstasy of the Big Boys. The music has infectiously bouncy bass lines. One just has to boogie - yes, mohawk and all. This is great music for skateboarding, moving anything heavy, or just jumping around like a freak. It's soul music for punks. I quote, "We've got soul, let's take control," and "We're not in it to lose."
