Review

This curious but powerful Rufus Thomas CD packs a heavyweight punch. Thomas' memorable "Funky Chicken," "Walking the Dog," "Jump Back Baby," and "Breakdown," along with four more zesty tracks, will liven the most stoic gathering -- although, take note that these are latter-day rerecordings with hip-hop beats and turntable scratching. Still, it's a fair budget CD that's well-worth the few bucks. ~ Andrew Hamilton, All Music Guide
