Brother Jack McDuff • Down Home Style



Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine
A set of gritty electric funk and soulful blues, Down Home Style is an excellent showcase for Brother Jack McDuff's gripping, funky style. Inspired more by the tight grooves of Stax Records than bebop, Down Home Style features McDuff leading a small group through a number of R&B grooves, ranging from the stuttering "The Vibrator" and dirty funk of "Butter (For Yo Popcorn)" to the slow blues of "Memphis in June." Occasionally, the group is augmented by a punchy horn section, but the record is designed as a showcase for McDuff's wild, intoxicating Hammond organ, and he runs with the it, demonstrating every one of his tricks.

Reseña de Stephen Thomas Erlewine
Un conjunto de funk eléctrico y blues conmovedor, Down Home Style es un excelente escaparate para el estilo apasionante y funky de Brother Jack McDuff. Inspirado más en los apretados surcos de Stax Records que en el bebop, Down Home Style presenta a McDuff dirigiendo un pequeño grupo a través de una serie de surcos R&B, que van desde el tartamudo "The Vibrator" y el sucio funk de "Butter (For Yo Popcorn)" hasta el lento blues de "Memphis in June". Ocasionalmente, el grupo se ve reforzado por una potente sección de vientos, pero el disco está concebido como un escaparate para el salvaje y embriagador órgano Hammond de McDuff, y éste se desenvuelve con él, demostrando cada uno de sus trucos.
