I like most of them, especially the new one with the WDR Bigband is awesome - he also sings really great. But "Southern Exposure" touches me more then all the others.

For me, it's a toss up between "Live From Planet Groove" and "Mo Roots".

 

Dial M-A-C-E-O

 

+1 for "Live From Planet Groove"

"...shoulda seen the bull when he funked the cow..."

 

"...ME and the drummer check it out..." >>> Goes to awesome "false fingering" chromatic solo. This album was also my first introduction to Candy Dulfer.

 

IMO, "Roots Revisited" is his best album but I listen just as much to "Mo Roots", so that would be a close second.

 

No doupt: "Life on Planet Groove".

I even named my funkband after it ("Planet Groove").

 

Yeah, I woulda said either Roots n Grooves (the new album with WDR) or Live on Planet Groove.

The version of Chameleon with the Rebirth Brass band OMG.

Tuba playing the Chameleon Bass Line. It's the first song I ever lifted from and for good reason.

 

Have you heard Maceo and RBB's take on "Mercy Mercy Mercy"? The tuba bassline is killer here too.

 

I haven't listened to may of his albums but a year or two back I got the
double album recorded live in Germany.

One CD is a tribute to Ray Charles. Very good. In fact in some places
I think he sounds better that the great Mr. Ray Charles.

The 2nd CD is the one that really knocks me out.
Not so much because of his playing which is okay, but the groove
with Dennis Chambers is awesome. If you can sit still listening to that
you deserve to be mummyfied.

The German big band is great and some of their soloists are excellent.

 

I can't select a best Maceo album.
I have my favs on each.

Favorite funk:To Be Or Not To Be,from School's In
(not the newer live WDR version) or Rabbits In The Pea Patch from Dial: M-A-C-E-O.

Fav YouTube video: There Was A Time, Germany, 2003.
I wish that I could get a download of that one.

Thanks SA-80
I typed in the url several times and it failed.

 

Phil, try omitting the last backslash of the URL. http://listentoyoutube.com

Then type this youtube URL into the blank space.

I've already downloaded the video into an mp3, so it should already be in listentoyoutube's database. If you're still having trouble, shoot me a PM.

 

That worked!
Thanks SA-80,those last four letters did the trick. Cool.

 

I like Roots ad Grooves a lot, but this is my favorite i've ever found.
