That was the funk that got ya' right there! 🤩

Ida slips into a lush finger-style groove here, after a minute or so of the slap:

 

That's a game of two halves for me. First half - tremendously impressive, but a bit sterile. Second half - now, then - that, for me, is pure bass-playing virtuosity. I'd pay damned good money to listen to more of the finger-style, but I'd be wandering off to the bar during the slap. Each to their own, of course!

I agree wholeheartedly. I prefer the bass sound (not 100% sold on the zingray). and groove on this though.... not coz I've just bought a mustang or anything😎🍷🤔. Oh no its coz its on soul train.

Just heard this on Classic Soul, still sounding so fresh. Produced by the great Allen Toussaint and featuring The Meters. Such a slow groove with so much space too.

Ever rediscover an old tune and think, wow this so much better than I ever realised at the time? 

 

I loved all this at the time and it still sounds great, particularly as the recent mainstream has been dominated by dull-as-ditchwater beige 'artists' like Coldplay, Sam Smith, Ed Sheeran, Tom Walker, Adele etc.  The great things about KCATCs were the humour, the damned sexy coconuts themselves, the shows and some bluddy great tunes.

Must say I didn't dislike the Kid (or his coconuts), but to my ears this is way better than I ever realised. It's me gaining a deeper love of music nothing more.
