Now, after 23 years, finally there is a new album –and it almost exclusively features cover versions of artists who have inspired TACK>>HEAD.
In October 2012 the FUNKY PRESIDENT vs KING BEE epwas released....! At that specific moment in time– shortly before the US presidential election – the name couldn’t have been more apt: was KING BEE (Slim Harpo composition) a part of Funky President (James Brown composition) or was it the other way around? Who knows? Obama came out on
top...!
Along with The Meters, Funkadelic, David Bowie/Brian Eno, Stevie Wonder, the Ohio Players, the album also pays tribute to two reggae giants - Bob Marley and ErrolDunkley – by getting them “into TACK>>HEAD shape”.
