Chris Daniels & the Kings, the emperors of funk in the Rocky Mountain high of Colorado are a fusion somewhere between Ohio Players and KC & The Sunshine Band or the ying and yang of this nation under a groove. These grand masters of Funk ’n Roll were the Sam & Dave meets Tower of Power in their 1980’s prime. Recently band leader Chris Daniels and vocalist Freddi Gowdy have both overcome serious illness and realizing they’d been given a second chance, have reassembled the band and are now ready to get “Funky To The Bone.” The Kings are the complete retro Soul package, the band is kicking with full horn section, back up singers, even the CD looks like vinyl and the booklet uses classic magazine covers. The current Kings are Chris Daniels vocals & guitar, “Bones” Jones on lead guitar, “Bro” Lee, bass, Randy Amen, drums,“Doody” Abrahamson, trumpet, Jim Waddell, alto, tenor sax, flute with Bill Paine of Little Feat on keys and Freddi Gowdy getting with the get down.
Jumping in with a strong groove “Funky To The Bone” has a James Gang guitar hook, JB horns, Brides of Funkenstien choir as Freddi gets down deep followed by the P-Funk-esque romp of “Don’t Let Your Mouth Write No Checks.” Daniels leads the band through the classic Chris Kenner hit “Something You Got” then blows through with a lighter summer-fresh “Cool Breeze.” Getting it on with the rock & soul music of “Dance Dance Dance” Paine’s fleet fingered organ and the horn lines lead to the strong strut and dueling vocals of “What A Day.” The horns are the heroes of the salsa soul venture “Nobody Knows” and they finish with their own story of “Survivors.”
