Betty Davis – Nasty Gal CD Album 2002 Reissue MPC Ltd UK UFOOXY1CD

Description: Description: Betty Davis – Nasty Gal (2002 UK reissue CD Album - MPC Ltd UK UFOOXY1CD B/C 5033202004922) NASTY GAL is the third solo album of raunchy, outspoken, funky R&B by Betty Davis (the former Mrs. Miles Davis). Personnel: Betty Davis (vocals); Carlos Morales (vocals, guitar, background vocals); Fred Mills (keyboards, background vocals); James "Hal" Smith (ARP synthesizer); Semmie Neal Jr. (drums); Buddy Williams (bass drum); Errol Crusher Bennett (congas). Funk diva Betty Davis was supposed to break big upon the release of her third album, NASTY GAL. Davis and her well-seasoned road band, Funk House, entered the studio with total artistic control in the making of the album. This set contains classic and often raunchy street funk anthems such as the title track (with its infamous anthemic lyric: "...You said I love you every way but your way/And my way was too dirty for ya now...."), "Talkin' Trash," "Dedicated to the Press," and the musically ancestral tribute "F.U.N.K." It also features the beautiful, moving, uncharacteristic ballad "You and I," co-written with her ex-husband, Miles Davis, and orchestrated by none other than Gil Evans. It's the only track like it on the record, but it's a stunner. The album is revered as much for its musical quality as its risqué lyrical content. This quartet distilled the Sly Stone funk-rock manifesto and propelled it with real force. Check the unbelievable twinning of guitar and bassline in "Feelins" that underscore, note for note, Davis' vocals. The drive is akin to hardcore punk rock, but so funky it brought Rick James himself to the altar to worship (as he later confessed in interviews). And in the instrumental break, the interplay between the rhythm section (bassist Larry Johnson and drummer Semmie "Nicky" Neal, Jr.) and guitarist Carlos Moralesis held to the ground only by Fred Mills' keyboards. In essence, the album is missing nothing: it's perfect, a classic of the genre in that it pushed every popular genre with young people toward a blurred center that got inside the backbone while smacking you in the face. Heard through headphones, it’s spaced out psychedelic effects, combined with the nastiest funk rock on the block, is simply shocking. The record seemed to rock way too hard for black radio, and was far too funky for white rock radio. In the 21st century, however, it sounds right on time.
