 Funk
legend Bootsy Collins spices up Christmas time with his first holiday
album, Bootsy
Collins: Christmas Is 4 Ever, a newly recorded CD from Shout!
Factory that mixes four new recordings and nine “Bootsyized”
yuletide classics. Bootsy,
whose hits include “Ahh...The Name Is Bootsy, Baby!,”
“Bootzilla” and “The Pinocchio Theory” puts his funky touch to
popular Christmas favorites “Jingle Belz (aka Jingle bells),”
“Chestnutz (aka The Christmas Song),” “Winterfunkyland (aka
Winter Wonderland)” and Dis-christmiss (aka This Christmas),
originally written and recorded by Donny Hathaway. Bootsy is joined by
Snoop Dogg, who raps on the new “Happy Holidaze,” and Charlie
Daniels on fiddle and background vocals for the classic “Sleigh
Ride” (which also features vocals by Ohio Players lead singer
Sugarfoot). Additional
notable guests include Fred Wesley and other former James Brown
collaborators MC Danny Ray and Bobby Byrd, as well as former
Parliament/Funkadelic members Blackbyrd McKnight and Bernie Worrell.
The CD also features holiday greetings from Buckethead and
Roger Troutman as well as a message from Bishop
Don Magic Juan.
GRAMMY®
Award-winning Bootsy is one of the most prolific bass players of all
time. As a teenager he
toured with James Brown and went on to collaborate with George Clinton
in Parliament Funkadelic. Bootsy,
who has had 15 R&B single-chart entries in Billboard, has worked
with a veritable “who's who” of musicians, including Bill Laswell,
Herbie Hancock, Keith Richards, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Afrika Bambaataa and
Deee-lite.
