The 1970s saw the rise of Funk as we now know. Nothing fueled the 70s funk revolution quite like George Clinton’s massive musical collective known as Parliament-Funkadelic.
One of the main contributors to the P-Funk sound was Cincinnati native and former JB’s member Bootsy Collins. Literally, there would be no Mothership without Bootsy, aka Bootzilla, a true monster on the bass. 1980’s Sweat Band was originally envisioned to be the 5th release from Bootsy Collin’s
funktacular Rubber Band. But somehow Bootsy lost the rights to the Rubber Band name to, of all things, a folk act. But rest assured, though the name may be slightly different, all the funk is intact. For this outing Bootsy’s background with
James Brown and as a major contributor to the Parliament Funkadelic family are in full effect.

Players on the project include Michael Hampton and Garry Shider on guitar, Bernie Worrell on the keys, as well as a horn line comprising Fred Wesley, Richard Griffith and Maceo Parker. And being that this is a full-fledged P-Funk outing,
George Clinton himself is Executive Producer. Anchoring the entire project, the amazing bass work of the one and only Bootsy Collins.
