It had impressive lyrics and funky grooves on songs such as "Anti Love Song," as well as an impressive list of musicians:<br /><br /> * Neal Schon (Santana/Journey) Doug Rodrigues (Buzzy Linhart, Lenny White) - guitar<br /> * Gregg Errico (Sly & The Family Stone) - drums<br /> * Larry Graham (Sly & The Family Stone and eponym of Graham Central Station) - bass<br /> * Patryce Banks (Graham Central Station) - percussion<br /> * Willie Sparks (Graham Central Station) - drums<br /> * Hershall Kennedy (Graham Central Station) - horns<br /> * Greg Adams (Tower of Power) - horns<br /> * Mic Gillette (Tower of Power) - horns<br /> * Skip Mesquite (Tower of Power) - saxophone<br /> * Merl Saunders - electric piano<br /> * Pete Sears - acoustic piano<br /> * The Pointer Sisters - background vocals<br /><br />"Anti Love Song" features Neil over the ToP horns, and it's still too funky.<br /><br />...btw, surely you have more funk from NOLA up your sleeve for #2<br /><br />BillMace2theOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08885457683342056689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357001616333664522.post-24887849651106419392011-10-21T16:15:53.996-07:002011-10-21T16:15:53.996-07:00great mix , always liked "the talking heads&#...great mix , always liked "the talking heads' with georges band menbersAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357001616333664522.post-79908072378086987592011-10-21T12:02:54.150-07:002011-10-21T12:02:54.150-07:00That Petty track, I'm pretty sure, is produced...That Petty track, I'm pretty sure, is produced by another whipping boy, Lenny Kravitz.
