For All the King's Men
The album was significant as a comeback for a number of people: Bootsy, Maceo, Sly, Bobby Byrd, etc. It’s a rousing and varied funk grab-bag that makes you want more. It was done at the same time (and with much the same personnel) as Bootsy’s Jungle Bass EP, and predated Maceo’s hugely successful jazz album Roots Revisited by a few months. Both “Saxmachine” and “Tell The World” ended up on the Funkcronomicon album, making this one less of a necessity, but “Let ‘Em Out” can only be found here as a studio tune.
