When asked to do this project I was recording a new record with Galactic in our new studio. I knew we weren't going to record this tune for the record because we were headed in a different direction. We were all set up, so it made sense to record this with the Galactic rhythm section and include our friends, The Lil Rascals Brass Band. It was fun because there are no overdubs or loops which was different from what we were recording with Galactic at the time. The drum that sounds like a floor tom with jingles is an LP pandeiro set up to the left of my hi-hat. To me, this cut is what a culmination between a funk band and brass band should be -loose, fun and fat. I hope you have as much fun hearing it as we did playing it. - Stanton Moore
