Innovative not only for its moody, nuanced jazz-funk sensibility, Liberated Brother also translates the uncommonly strong passion of Irvine's political and philosophical views into its grooves, creating music of rare sincerity and ambition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\"While the record's first-half features longer, more meditative songs, like the Latin-inspired title tune and 'Blues Wel-Don,' the second side of Liberated Brother commands the most attention. With sterling contributions from guitarist Tommy Smith, bassist Roland Wilson, and drummer Napoleon Revels-Bey, cuts such as 'Mr. Clean' and 'Sister Sanctified' (later sampled by Boogie Down Productions for the rap classic 'My Philosophy') achieve a deeply funky consciousness forged from elements of jazz, soul, and psychedelia; 'Juggah Buggah' even features Irvine on Moog synthesizer, further expanding the LP's cosmic reach.\" — AllMusic\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pure Pleasure","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56683026579788,"sku":"5060149622919","price":7.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0979\/2913\/4412\/files\/original_d64f5fc2-e7bd-429f-a95b-3eb330553bd4.jpg?v=1770597697","url":"https:\/\/vinylpulses.com\/products\/weldon-irvine-liberated-brother-pure-pleasure-lp","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
