Benny & the Flybyniters

The Many Sides of...

(Rhythm Bomb Records)



Come in from the alley to the dancehall. He and she couplings dressed to kill are whirling with cool aplomb. The combo arrayed onstage are aces, all, pumping out raw R&B in the manner of storied icons. Edges are appropriately unsanded, for this is honking, strutting human music that has soundtracked innumerable noctunal interactions, and it should be this real.

Here compiled are swing-out blasts from earlier issuances; if they are not already in your stack, lunge for this.

Recommended: "Straighten Up Mama," "Two-Dollar Woman," "The Way You Do," "Jet-Propelled Daddy," "Benny's Bounce," "Party Like Never Before," "She Knocks Me Out," "Huckle Boogie," "Hey Now," "Tell Me Pretty Baby," "Hammerhead," "Loosen Up"
