Review: Audiophile-quality, live in-the-studio renditions of "What Is Hip," "Squibcakes," the bluesy soul of "Your Gonna Need Me" and the sizzling "Fanfare" and "That's Why I Sing" - all with blasting, upfront horns and raw-as-dirt singing and percussion make this a latter-day funk dynamo. Read my words: NOT TO BE MISSED!
