Incredible Music !! - Best Known in other countries than the US (a shame), Keziah Jones is an amazing artist , and Blufunk Is a Fact is his best album, so far. I first heard (and see) one song , don t remember which one, in MTV Latin America (back in Peru ,the 90 s) , of course the guitars and the rythm capture me. Now on 2006 , I ve rediscovered the art of Keziah. One friend told me Bluefunk is A Fact was the best album of the 90 s, you know what , he s right.
Simply amazing!! - Keziah Jones is one of the best guitarist alive..You can compare him to a more technical version of Ben Harper or Jack Johnson.. Adding up more musical influances such as jazz, funk, rock, african music ..Very ethnical..Amazing, is first CD is great and also is best CD yet..This is someone you can t miss..
Really great !! - Really great !! Really great !! Really great !! Really great !! Really great !! Really great !!
Incredibly funky. - I bought this CD several years ago while I was living in Japan. I was desperate for some new music, but the tiny record store in the town where I was living had very little to offer (I ve never cared much for Japanese pop). I chose this more because of the cover art than anything else. When I got home and popped it into my stereo I was absolutely floored by what I heard. It s absolutely criminal that this amazing artist is virtually unknown in the US. If you have any interest at all in hearing catchy, funky tunes from a consummate guitarist-singer, do not pass up any chance you may get to acquire this great CD.
Funky music with deep, intelligent lyrics - Good lord! Why is it that music like the Backstreet Boys selling a ba-gillion copies and yet no one knows anything about talents like Keziah Jones? This album is, plain and simply, AMAZING. Funky bass lines, horns and chunky guitars invite inevitable comparisons to Lenny Kravitz, but to stop at that would be to pass Keziah Jones of as a copy and never uncover him as an amazing artist in his own right. The songs not only musically are amazing and full of soul, but the lyrics are deep and pertain to real subjects like race and love without being in the slighest make me want to vomit cheesy or stop lecturing me preachy. When singing about love and (more appropriately) making love, this Brit s lyrics are sensual and deep. When singing about race, the lyrics make you take notice without reprimanding you. Just listen to Rhythm is Love, The Wisdom Behind the Smile (Cash) or The Funderlying Undermentals and you ll understand why I can t stop talking (writing) about ths album (his best).
