Review

Entertainment Weekly (6/28-7/5/96, p.107) - "...On [this] late-'70s album, coproduced by George Clinton, Collins leads the charge with slippery bass lines and rubbery vocals. There's a party going on here, with tunes that stretch and vamp into an old-school sunset." - Rating: A-

Title Note

Personnel: Bootsy Collins (vocals, guitar, bass, drums, percussion); Gary Cooper (vocals, drums, percussion); Robert Johnson (vocals); Phelps Collins, Garry Shider, Mike Hampton, Glenn Goins (guitar); Casper (bass); Fred Wesley, Maceo Parker, Rick Gardner, Richard Griffith, The Brecker Brothers (horns); Grankie "Kash" Waddy, Jerome Brailey (drums, percussion).

One of the key figures in the development of funk, Bootsy Collins played bass in James Brown's JB's in the late '60s and early '70s and was later an integral member of George Clinton's Parliament/Funkadelic ensemble. Collins' approach to the bass is like none other. He plays it like a guitar, adding long, dazzling fills while simultaneously anchoring the band with a heavy, elastic bottom-end. During his P-Funk tenure, Collins' personality (exemplified in both his playing and his freakishly glamorous on-stage persona) became so popular that he soon began his own outfit--Bootsy's Rubber Band.

1977's AHH...mines the psychedelicized grooves born of the P-Funk formula--adding equal parts superior musicianship, dance floor abandon, space-age thematics, and a silliness intended to subvert and liberate. Tracks like "Rubber Duckie" are unabashed dance anthems while "The Pinocchio Theory" amends the P-Funk philosophy with another anti-rule ("Fake the funk and your nose will grow"). AHH...has more than its share of slow-tempo, ballad-like numbers, but killer bass solos from the man himself make even these worthwhile. In all, this is vintage Bootsy Collins.
