Excellent collection of the most iconic movie themes of the 20th century and beyond.
A quite fantastic record where buddy goes for a modern almost rock sound with wha wha guitars and electric keyboards and a funky style with his drumming , some great material as well from his band members. In late 1973, the Buddy Rich big band still featured the explosive drummer in prime, competitive form. The orchestra's key soloist during the era was Pat LaBarbera (doubling on tenor and soprano); guitarist Joe Beck also has a spot on "Big Mac." The charts (by Ernie Wilkins, John LaBarbera, Manny Albam, Greg Hopkins and Don Menza) for this album emphasize hard-driving swing, with the highlights including "Nuttville," "Senator Sam" and Menza's memorable "Time Check."
With this new album the New York City blues inventor is back in force to celebrate his career of 30 years. 15 magnificent titles: tender and bestial Popa, full of rage and love, electricity and emotion. A must have for all his fans! This album is a treat because it goes through the whole range of emotions and sentiments that can be put into songs. including love, of course. For dessert, Popa Chubby covers Kiss. Not the group Kiss but the song by Prince. "Prince, really had a big influence on me.as a guitar player. There really nobody above him except maybe Hendrix. I love that song, my girl friend loved that song when I played it for her. Kiss is a blues song!" Popa Chubby is returning to the roster of the Dixiefrog label after five years of infidelity. Dixiefrog meant a lot of good for Popa Chubby and vice versa. And, as sings Popa Chubby in the middle of his new album: The best is yet to come.
