Bootsy Collins performing in Austin, Texas June 19, 2011
Bootsy Collins is the Man Who Put Bass In Yer Face — the original funk ‘n’ roll wild child, the Godzilla-toned high minister of the all-powerful “one,” a sly dog who — with his trademark psychedelic stovepipe, knee-high platform boots and star-studded bass guitars.
Inspired by Jimi Hendrix and tutored by no less an authority on the big beat than James Brown, Bootsy has stomped his way through the last 40 years of music history and lived the high life. He has been inducted into the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame along with the other members of Parliament-Funkadelic. And yet, after spraying outer space bass all over classic recordings by the Godfather of Soul, P-Funk, and his own trail-blazing groups — including Bootsy’s Rubber Band, the Sweat Band and Praxis — Bootsy has arrived at a kind of Zen-like balance that he credits for inspiring his new album Bootsy Collins “Tha Funk Capital of the World,” his first new album in five years.
The album's 16 tracks are sonically rooted in Bootsy's earth-shaking party grooves, but songs like "Freedumb" and "Minds Under Construction" reveal higher ambitions. "There are real messages on this album that I wanted to share," explains Collins, whose soul-deep rhythms and layered melodies are punctuated by lyrics that range from meditations on the nature of truth and spiritual transcendence, to blissed-out joy.
Collins is a singularly influential bassist. His star-shaped "Space Bass" and the driving grooves he produced with it have become synonymous with modern funk and inspired everyone from The Red Hot Chili Peppers and Primus to NWA and OutKast. More recently, Collins collaborated with Talib Kweli and Hi-Tek for 2009's "Internet Connection." In 2010, Bootsy was awarded Bass Player Magazine's Lifetime Achievement Award.
Rock’n’Roll Hall of Famer, funk music pioneer and legendary bassist Bootsy Collins will bring “The Funk Capital of the World” to the Live Music Capital of the World on Sunday, June 19th at Austin City Limits Live at The Moody Theater!
