BRIDES OF FUNKENSTEIN - NEVER BUY TEXAS FROM A COWBOY

Limited orange colored vinyl LP pressing. Last year Ace Records were delighted to reissue The Brides of Funkenstein's debut LP from 1978, "Funk Or Walk". Featuring their hit single 'Disco To Go', this album put the Brides on the map and sold strongly. Before sessions commenced for a second album, Lynn Mabry left the group before sessions commenced for a second album, leaving Dawn Silva alone at the altar. George Clinton added P-Funk backing singers Jeanette McGruder and Sheila Horne to the mix, creating a three-pronged vocal attack. Sessions featured the cream of the P-Funk players including keyboard wizard Bernie Worrell, bassist Bootsy Collins and guitarist Garry Shider. The resulting album, released in 1979, was even better that their debut. The title track ran for over 15 minutes on side one, showcasing the vocal and musical prowess of all concerned. Other tracks included 'Party Up In Here', 'Smoke Signals', 'Mother May I?' and the gorgeous ballad 'Didn't Mean To Fall In Love'. Although it did not spawn a hit single, "Never Buy Texas From A Cowboy" sold as strongly as "Funk Or Walk" and over time has been hailed as a classic P-Funk album. With liner notes from Ace's Ian Shirley
