Tom Tom Club funkier than ever
It has been almost 20 years since Tom Tom Club topped the charts with songs like "Genius of Love" and "Wordy Rappinghood". Many artists, from Grandmaster Flash to Mariah Carey, used samples of the groundbreaking Tom Tom Club beats for their own songs and scored major hits with it.
Now, eight years after the previous their last "Dark Sneak Love Album", Chris Frantz and Tina Weymouth (of Talking Heads fame) put out their best album to date. With contributions from people like Charles Pettigrew (of Charles and Eddie and the hit single "Would I Lie to You?"), DJ Kid Ginseng ("produced by Chris and Tina") and Toots Hibbert, the Club sounds funkier and hipper than ever.
"The Good the Bad and the Funky" is a melting pot of styles, where rap, reggae, dance, funk and hiphop are combined with catchy melodies and the unique breathy voice of singer/bassplayer Tina Weymouth.
The songs on the album vary from the "Genius of Love" 'sequal' "Who Feeling'It" and the amazing single "Happiness Can't Buy Money" to excellent covers of Lee Perry's "Soul Fire" and Donna Summers disco classic "Love to Love you Baby".

Could be their best ever!
This new album from the Tom Tom Club, lead by husband and wife tean Tina Weymouth and Chris Frantz, defies classification. It's beautiful, danceble, funky sound will appeal to new and old fans alike. As with their other material, the music and lyrics are completely unpretentious and fun. At the same time, the album takes on a deep funk feel in places, mixing island and urban sounds, with out losing it's playful edge.
Funky rock at its best
I'm primarily a rock guy, and of course heard of the Tom Tom Club via Talking Heads' Stop Making Sense. I can't dance, and I don't generally listen to "funky" music, but this is an exception. Who else makes music that is funky, yet rocks?
