Rock Candy Funk Party - Octopus "E" OFFICIAL Music Video

www.rockcandyfu...
With its reboot of classic '70s /'80s jazz-funk, Rock Candy Funk Party (RCFP) delivers a sound that's as celebratory as the name suggests. The group is powered by a lineup of world renowned players who came together for the sheer fun of making music-and a mutual love of genre-blurring grooves. With collective credits including Joe Zawinul, Hugh Masekela, Prince, Ruth Brown, Chaka Khan, Simples Minds, Billy Idol, Tito Puente, Bruce Springsteen, Rod Stewart, Levon Helm, Conan O'Brien, Sheila E. and many more, they are: album producer Tal Bergman (drums), Joe Bonamassa (guitar), Ron DeJesus (guitar), Mike Merritt (bass) and Renato Neto (keys).

the drummer has to be one of the best ive ever seen. throughout the album he just has the cleanest and most fitting fills ive ever heard

[@marcusjones250]

I totally get what you mean - everything he does no matter how simple is just so tight and goes so smoothly around the rest of the band. Top drumming. Plus that snare sound is beautiful.

[@killercorncob1995]

exactly :)

[@Panglos]

When I go to a Bonamassa concert I'm divided as to whether I'm there more to see Joe or Tal. I wouldn't say anything so outrageous as "I'm there to see Tal" to my friends, so I simply say "love me some Tal," hoping they'll focus on him a bit more than they might if they're dyed-in-the-wool Bonamassaheads (as I am too!). He's everything you want in a drummer, filling a band's percussive and time-holding needs perfectly. Oddly, though Joe has praised Tal, he's praised other drummers of his more-in public, at least. Could be he figures he's shot off too many "best ever" exaltation bullets and wants to dish them out more carefully from now on.

[@caspervanhelvoirt]

The drummer is great, very great! But to say he's one of the best you've ever seen, is a bit weird hahah. I present to you: Simon Phillips, Chad Smith, Dave Weckl, Keith Carlock, Dennis Chambers, and not to forget the master of groove: Jeffrey Porcaro. (R.I.P.)

[@graspunwrapped1124]

That's what you get when you mix a GOOD bassist with a GOOD drummer. :)

[@harryprater9014]

wow...its Joe Banamassa.....and his drummer....band is killer...!!

[@PinD-PANIC]

Good eye!

[@deyankozhuharov9839]

Brilliant instrumental and musicians!!!

[@TomBolton-od3ul]

I have been so lucky to play with Mike Merrit recently. DEEP GROOVE!

[@Barkbuster434]

Never knock an artist for spreading their wings. Only for folding them in. Funk is a great fit for him if only for a little while. Would also love to hear him on jazz, bluegrass, Americana and anything else he wants to pursue. A true artist ventures out, and Joe is that dude.

[@SHITONASTICK1100]

damn these guys are bloody good. why have i not heard of them before?

[@Sameosez1]

I use to play bass and after hearing this I am going to dust off my old basses and start jaming again. Music needs more of this.

[@heikoottemann8623]

Wow, die Jungs treffen mich mit jedem Ton!. Unfassbar was diese Typen da machen, irre cool, geil!

[@bluepowder2008]

the drummer is bruce willis with hair!!!! 3:01. the best thing heard so far of the year

[@JerryOfPerth]

Love the drums in this.

[@PlymouthVT]

This song is ridiculous. Such a old school groove. The drum groove should be taught in percussion school. Can't stop listening to this song. Been in my car cd for weeks. The verse where the drummer is on the ride cymbal at 3:22 is best I have heard in years. Well done gentleman its a masterpiece.

[@dave136]

Excellent..top class piece of music😎👏🏻👏🏻

[@xtcfxu]

Joe B is one heck of a showman/Guitar player. Puts his heart & soul into every project.

[@bairdt2006]

Damn, I could listen to that groove all frigin night long. Bad ass!!

[@RonaldNkuna-yd3en]

Sweet song 🎉❤🎉

[@MoonPhysical]

As a drummer i'm feeling these opportunities for the funkiest solos ever.

Some nasty, deep funk! tight AF!!

[@chris031671]

The album showed up yesterday, and is worth the coin to get it. If the end up doing any shows around here ,I'll be in line to buy tickets, but I doubt they'll do many shows with the amount of gigs Joe already does every year.

[@RonaldNkuna-yd3en]

Wonderful ❤🎉mix

[@Traviswalknyc]

That is terrific!!

[@fonkamex]

The first time I hear something from Bonamassa that is actually entertaining and original

Sweet!

[@TheJefreez]

come on man!! joe and a shit load of kick-ass musicians like this. WOW! he's been doing this crazy shit forever.

[@arsenaulta]

Amazing musicians (seriously I'd give anything to be half this talented), but anyone else getting a Mission Impossible vibe?

[@williethunder]

Awesome sounds!!!!!!

[@isaiahguevara8619]

That drummer is sick, Simple and smooth is the best.

[@chromaticking]

Funktastic

[@papaldanondo]

Geniales.....

[@nocrezvitus]

Well said! Players like Clapton and SRV all went through phases of experimentation and it only served to stengthen their own styles when they went back to the creative drawing boards. Because that's what refining and honing your craft is all about. Eric never lost his touch, and if Stevie was alive, neither would he. Fair play to Joe on this for following his heart. It will ultimately make him a better player. And hell, he's pretty damn good already! ;-)

[@Tim.Pierce]

check out the cool upright bass clasps on the white congas 2:27
