Drop the Bomb

When Trouble Funk's Robert Reid passed away recently, he warranted a New York Times obit. That is how much Trouble Funk mattered to music, as they were the creators and foremost practitioners of the Washington DC go-go sound. Trouble Funk were almost alone among the funk bands whose performance aesthetic survived and was in fact shaped by the all night long demands for disco DJ-ing and the unadorned beat heaviness of Hip Hop DJ-ing through the seventies and eighties. With the release of "Drop the Bomb" (DEL CD 0065) Tuff City continues issuing the group's storied catalog. Featuring some of the group's greatest hits like Drop the Bomb, Say What, Search & Destroy, Get Down with Your Get Down, this CD is a perfect companion to E-Flat Boogie (DEL CD 0030) as a complete retrospective of the group's greatest recordings.
