Didn't see a thread about this one.
On this freewheeling and jubilant 13-track tribute, MTO is propelled by a dynamic cast of special guests, including Antony Hegarty, Bernie Worrell, Bill Laswell, Dean Bowman, Martha Wainwright, Sandra St. Victor, Shilpa Ray and Vernon Reid, treating Sly & The Family Stone with the same (ir)reverence it would Duke Ellington or Count Basie. By illuminating the melodic and harmonic sophistication of the iconoclast’s body of work, MTO re-imagine Sly Stone through the filter of their own "downtown NYC" aesthetic, while still upholding the Day-Glo soul and psychedelic funk that is the backbone for classics like "M'Lady," "Everyday People" and "Family Affair."
Those are some nice guests during this set. I hope Martha Wainwright gets a set of het own too. Maybe on the Solar Stage?
Let's just hope that those who appeared on the album will be performing with the band at Bonnaroo. I wouldn't say it's definite at this point, but it just makes too much sense not to happen. I haven't heard of most of these people but I really hope this is the year Antony & the Johnsons are finally on the lineup.
