Lucky Brown's Space Dream
A 14 track funk album (58m 42s) — released April 18th 2011 on Tramp Records
After a whirlwind tour that the police couldn't even stop, I assembled the Funk Revolution in my one-room cabin, called Chez Jojo. I gathered together all my salvaged, scavenged, and repurposed gear and completely improvised recording techniques and introduced them to a band that was hot and true, playing up to the presumptuous name I had just given them. After our debut single, 'Don't Go Away', the rest of the material from this session would be taken down to Sleng Teng Studio and messed around with for years until being realized as more singles for Tramp. Isaac Weiser played Bass on this session and Delvon LaMarr was playing a Hammond that took up most of the room. No one even complained.
The Lake-Side phase of this Space Dream happened when we recorded in drummer Olli Klomp's living room in his log-cabin on an island in a lake. I remember that it was the hottest day of the summer. We would swim in the Lake in between takes to cool off (being careful not to disturb our Crawdads that were contentedly grazing on barbecued chicken bones just beneath the dock). I blurted out "Lake-side...Crawdad Farmers!" as the tape began to roll on 'Jesse's Party' and it ended up being the winning take so we just went with it. We had the transcendent Jonathan Sherman on Bass for this session.
I'm called Lucky because I have the great fortune to be involved with such deeply grooving hearts, super talented players, and infinitely loving souls. This album is the realization of many Dreams.
It has been an honor to share the Space.
