Bootsy Collins Artist Snapshot:

Bootsy Collins first gained notoriety as a teenage bass wunderkind in James Brown's 1970s band, but found his real niche as a top-ranking officer in George Clinton's Parliament/Funkadelic army. Known for his virtuoso slap-funk playing, unfailing groove, and over-the-top wardrobe, Bootsy is revered by bass players as the link between Larry Graham and Stanley Clarke. In addition to recording several successful solo albums, Collins has played with several other like-minded space travelers such as prog-metal flash guitarist Buckethead.

Bootsy Collins's 1978 solo album, BOOTSY? PLAYER OF THE YEAR, has a title that shows, without bragging, just how essential the bassist/songwriter/producer/all-around creative sparkplug was to George Clinton and the P-Funk empire. For the first time since starting his own project in the P-Funk extended family, Collins seems to have focused intently on his own material, which means that these seven songs lack the occasionally meandering jams that weighed down earlier Bootsy's Rubber Band albums. The grooves here are sharper, but the tempos are also slower, with over half of the record perfecting the deep-groove ballad style that Collins had first experimented with on 1977's "Munchies for Your Love." In particular, the centerpiece track, "May the Force Be with You," makes the listener wonder if Collins and Clinton (a producer on this outing) had been listening to Lee Perry's classic mid-'70s dub sides; a similarly spaced-out feel predominates here and on its extended follow-up, "Very Yes." Although the over-extended P-Funk crew was about to crack up for good, this album features Collins, Clinton, and the rest at the peaks of their powers.
