GROOVE IS KING is the second studio album by American jazz and funk group Rock Candy Funk Party. It was released on 31st July 2015 through J&R Adventures. The album features Billy F. Gibbons from ZZ Top as Mr. Funkadamus. Rock Candy Funk Party’s name pretty much sums up their sound. This is rock, it’s funky, it grooves and there is definitely a musical party going on. Supergroup Rock Candy Funk Party has done it yet again with their instrumental funk rager called GROOVE IS KING. The more deadly nasty funk grooves from the first offering slid into the back seat and taking the steering wheel is the groove-laden jazz riffs that are the right side of tasty and the left side of hot sauce. The sixteen track album is technically thirteen track due to three segues from the gravelly-throated Mr. Funkadamus who sets the tone for the audio assault you’re about to experience. GROOVE IS KING simply packed full of great tunes that will quench the funk quota for both funk fanatics and jazz-funk afficianados. You can nab the CD as well as a DVD which contains over fifty minutes of footage from the studio sessions, interviews with the members, as well as some other surprises.

This time around, the band decided to concentrate on the groove. That meant more of a band effort, and less free-form doing whatever the hell one wanted to do. Jazz fans need not worry as there is plenty of flowing, off the cuff moments... but there is also more of a methodical approach to the songs. The band decided to play like they were tipping the hat to everyone from Bruno Mars to Led Zeppelin to The Brecker Brothers. At times this one rocks, at times is makes you wanna dance, other times you wanna get your groove on and there are moments that could only be referred to as classy disco. Whatever the hell they were thinking… it worked. Joe Bonamassa is a total team player on this album, but his guitar work is F-I-N-E fine. Big Joe can flat out play, and it matters not if he is slamming out a Jimmy Page style lick or hitting chords like he’s in Weather Report... Bonamassa’s passion shines through. The band even does a cool -and almost eerie- version of Peter Gabriel’s “Digging In The Dirt,” though it is “Don’t Funk With Me” that will get the toes-a-tapping and the radio button turned far to the right. This is the tune that sums up what this band is all about. The band even titled the album correctly, as from start to finish, as Mr. Funkadamus points out, the band is all about the groove… With cool titles like “If Six Was Eight” and “C You On The Flip Side” one can tell this is a throwback to a time where Jazz was the music of love…well, maybe not love, but that thing you do when you’re in love… oh come on… you know what I am talking about here. Get this album then, get with that special someone and get the groove going all night long. Well done funky brethren.
