 Best Allstar CD March 24, 2007
bandmanager (Colorado)
A roomate turned me on to these guys about 10 years ago with this CD and I have seen and heard most of their stuff since because of this CD. Fred Wesley is the most amazing trombone player and I was blessed to have seen him back then with the Allstars at the Fox Theater in Boulder. He's a powerhouse on stage. Karl is just one of the most all encompassing players out there. He's not a showboat, but just plays from his heart. So very, very talented. The other guys are pretty talented too. Which is so fresh in this day and age with all the silly fluff out in the music scene. This is a must have for anyone who loves funk, R&B and jazz. Nothing fancy.....just funky and fun to the core. You'll feel it in your soul.

Very "Grant Green" in the sound and grooves. Somewhat light, not overly driving funky, but definately great listening. My only dislike is that the quality of the recording is lower then expected, the overall volume of the disc is quite lower than comparable CD's. Other than that I would recommend!
Truly Greatness.... but best ever?? August 18, 2006

Karl D and the Greyboys are the real deal, its jazz-funk fusion with a fresh twist. However, lets not get carried away here. While it is most likely the best album of its kind in recent years, it is in no way the greatest funk, or jazz funk album EVER.
Notice on the cover, it says "with Fred Wesley." Now I know that not everybody knows who Fred Wesley is, so Ill tell yall a little secret. Pick up "The JBs - Pass the Peas," listen to Fred take it higher, then lets talk about the "BEST FUNK EVER" The Greyboys do it right, but they are standing on the shoulders of giants, and one of the biggest graces actually graces this album. It is truly greatness, just not the greatest ever.
 best funk album of all time July 26, 2006

Absolutely changed my life. For Three years I listened to this CD at least once a week, if not more. Just perfect in every way imaginable.

I liked the tracks fine, but I have heard better. this was a first time purchase for me. I think that I was pleased enough to explore their other albums.
