More Blood

JAMES BLOOD ULMER - Black Rock (1982)


Jimmy Blood decides to go all P-Funk all over our worthless asses on this 1982 outing. Alas, the finest moments are when he whips out some of his demented harmolodic riffing; freed from the somewhat conventional confines of the majority of the material featured here. I doubt some of the bordering on saccharine-sweet vocal numbers like "Love Has Two Faces" and "Family Affair" (featuring the overwrought stylings of Irene Datcher) gave Sly Stone any sleepless nights. That said, on guitar extravaganzas like "Open House," "More Blood" and "Fun House," where the dissonant, genitalia-scorchin' licks come fast and furious, it's easy to find it in yer black heart to forgive the aforementioned sub-Funkadelic transgressions.
