A Blow For Me, A Toot To You

Released

When Wesley and Parker defected from James Brown’s band to George Clinton’s Parliament/Funkadelic camp, ‘A Blow For Me…’ was their first album. Across five lengthy (only one comes in sub six minutes) tracks Parker and Wesley served up a blend of terse, stripped back JBs funk and the dense, multi-layered Parliament/Funkadelic aesthetic. The album finishes on the elegant, orchestrated piece ‘Peace Fugue’ providing an introspective finish to an accomplished funk-jam album.
