not to be pedantic, but weren't Madhouse a Prince thang?
when I interviewed Mudbone many years ago he told me he moved to Cincinnati from Baltimore in the early 70s to join Bootsy & Catfish in their post-James Brown/pre-Geo Clinton band.

yep - that's the one I'm talkin about. Mudbone and crew cut it prior to stepping up as Bootsy's Rubber Band, although its unclear to me what their level of involvement was with p-funk when they cut this record. I think they were writing and maybe playing on a couple things (liner notes list "Together" on "Chocolate City" as being a co-Mudbone composition)

Jessie Rae, I knew you would know Dada! Thanks! My mate has that cd and when he bought it I fell about laughing when I saw he was on it!

fifteen years pass...
Has anyone heard Lucius ‘Tawl’ Ross’s ‘Giant Shirley’ album. Apparently had a tough time after leaving Funkadelic but out of nowhere released this album in the mid 90’s. Remember it coming out but missed it at the time. It’s kind of what you want a later Funkadelic album to be, a bit crazy but has a hypnotic lysergic hold over it which is kind of intoxicating. Bluesy with p-funky Bernie Worrell vibes. He’s not gonna win any prizes for the world’s greatest vocalist but it’s kind of great and pretty sui generis.

Anyone heard the Junie Morrison live album currently streaming. Always knew he was talented but this catches him in ‘75 with a band that’s on fire. Great recording too. Coming out on vinyl later in the year. Well worth a listen.
