BASS PLAYER MAGAZINE (DECEMBER '08) by Bill Leigh
'Junkyard Waltz' review:
I have Ohio funk in my blood-albeit once or twice removed- so I've always had some appreciation for the musical endeavors of Bootsy Collins prot'eg'e and Cincinnati homeboy Freekbass, even as I've wondered about the size of the audience for modern takes on old-school funk. Regardless, Junkyard Waltz, is Freekbass's most fully formed and groovealicious outing, and it would be even without guests like Phish bassist Mike Gordon, uber-weird guitarist Buckethead, and Bootsy's fellow P-Funk alums, Bernie Worrell and vocalist Gary "Mudbone"
Cooper. Freekbass - can I call you Freek? - layers on the effect-laden bass parts to full-funk effect. Need some hints on how to use those envelope filter and synth pedals? Follow Freek's lead.
