I’m back from China, boys, and I missed you! We have a lot to catch up on including a “new” album from 2010; some trashy, Smashy fun; AND the most-borrowed bass line of all-time!
“White Knuckle Ride” – Jamiroquai
“Rock Dust Light Star,” the first album Jamiroquai produced when they moved to the Mercury label, was first released internationally in late 2010. It only now finds itself released here in the U.S. The album is across-the-boards terrific: a heavenly slice of funky Disco. In connection with the U.S. release, the album’s original maiden single, the groovin’ “White Knuckle Love,” has had its remixes reissued. The song doesn’t even require additional production, but the Penguin Paradise treatment is especially terrific, adding to the Chic-like vibe without overpowering it. Anyone that missed this album the first time around is highly urged to check it out.
