Stop & Go

Released

After working as Stevie Wonder’s live drummer, Hamilton Bohannon set out on his own in 1973 with this, the first of eighteen albums over ten years. Featuring a funk guitar double act of Ray Parker Junior and Motown’s Melvin ‘Wah Wah Watson’ Ragin, Stop & Go is mostly heavily percussive instrumental funk and pre-disco with the occasional chanted refrain. Side two also features a trio of Funkadelic-esque tracks, the experimental psychedelic instrumental ‘It’s Time For Peace’ and the future-blues of ‘Save Their Souls’ and ‘Singing A Song For My Mother’. Probably Bohannon’s best album and certainly worth a revisit.
