2008 started with the exciting debut of Lucky Brown & The Funk Revolution, a brand-new unit formed by producer, arranger, and multi-instrumentalist, Joel Ricci. 'Don't Go Away' features leader Joel Ricci on lead vocals and the horn section as background singers. This cut has all you need: powerful vocals, a monstrous horn line reminiscent of the JB's 'The Grunt', and two fly flute/drum breaks for the beatdiggers. 'The Fresh One' is an instrumental track with a rude sound to it, the funk revolution lay down a killer groove and after Tommy D has his way with his spooky saxophone, Lucky manhandles the flute once again, then makes way for drummer Olli Klomp to take it on home. Lucky Brown could have been the house band for Dolomite or Petey Wheatstraw - they bring funk and soul to a down that definitely needs some.
