Album Description Soul, blue-eyed soul, rock & roll, and rhythm & blues are all phrases you might use to characterize the StrokelandSuperband. However, this melange of music, musicians and vocalistsvirtually defies classifications.What you call the music isn't nearly as important as what happens whenyou play this CD. We challenge you to sit still, but it's simplyimpossible. Hank Ballard had a phrase for this kind of music, "FingerPoppin' Time." We call it "Classic Snap for the New Millennium." Goahead....

CD ReviewsFunky Kupka Side Project Gregory Gonzales | Denver, CO United States | 09/26/2004 (4 out of 5 stars) "With all of the Tower of Power fans out there I'm surprised I'm writing the first review. If you are a TOP complete-ist you will definitely want to get this CD. Songs, 1,3,5,6,7,9 and 11 are funky enought to satisfy the most ardent of TOP fans. The lead singers include, Glenn Walters, Huey Lewis (of the News), Bill Champlin (of the Sons of Champlin and Chicago) and others. Bill Champlin's talents are wasted in Chicago. His chops are so funky on "Color Me Gone" I had to refer to the liner notes to verify it was him singing. Huey Lewis is a natural in the heavy R&B funk setting that the TOP horns lay down (don't forget, the TOP horn appeared on early Huey Lewis and the News albums). As for the musicians, Mic Gillette, Rocco Prestia, Lenny Pickett, David Garibaldi and Jeff Tamlier, all longtime TOP members, are core members of the Strokeland Superband. This would have earned five stars but the slow songs are predictable with nothing happening musically. Overall a strong effort. I hope Kupka and the boys plan on more." Buy it today absolutely!!! Smarty | Rome, ITALY | 09/13/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "If you want to spend a week snapping your fingers, stomping your feet, dropping your jaws and dancing alone at home, you have to buy this cd immediately! Throw away all your records and push the repeat button on your player. An amazing cast, first quality players, great melodies, a rude and clean sound. Real funk. No more words. Hear it NOW!!!!!" Great band Richard Jay Wheelwright Jr. | 11/02/2004 (4 out of 5 stars) "The band is slammin, however all the songs are mislabeled. What is song 5 is really song one, etc... Is it just my cd???? Other than trying to figure out what song is which, it's a great album."
