The New York Times says: New Orleans never needed a soul revival. Funk, soul and old-fashioned R&B are still live dance music in the city’s clubs. And while many New Orleans funk bands rely on the city’s trove of oldies, some are generating new material — including Dumpstaphunk, the band that plays the city’s hardest-hitting funk…..Outside New Orleans, “Dirty Word” could sound like a throwback to the 1970s: performed instead of programmed, community minded instead of self-absorbed. But for New Orleans music, it’s simple continuity, done right. I don’t expect to hear anything funkier this year. – JON PARELES, The New York Times.
