If You Like Funk: Check Out Vulfpeck

Stanton Moore on drums.

I've been 100% streaming for quite some time now, so cannot help with CD selection. Maybe someone who knows the labels well, can direct you.

Glad you like it!

astewart, I like your attitude.  I too think there is value in staying up to date on what the younger generation is listening to.  Even if I don’t like the music (often) it puts it all in a better perspective for me, and I have discovered some things that I do like.  

I have the Brothers Johnson original album bought when it came out. Love The Meters. Not sure what you will like as Vulfpeck is more pop (like Maroon Five) than funk but definitely rooted in funk and a fun listen.

If you haven’t heard these bands (see below) before then they all worth checking out (some are recent or still going and some disappeared the year after their only album release)....

Tower of Power
Strokeland Superband
Rastus
Lettuce
Cold Blood
Snarky Puppy
Cat Empire
Soulive
Mingo Fishtrap
Maceo Parker
Nils Landgren
Fred Wesley
Skull Snaps
Average White Band
Phat Phunktion
Rhinoceros

When it comes to Galactic ,some albums sound very "Rappish" and some do not .
The ones that are Very Good IMO are
We Love ’Em Tonight (Live at Tipitina’s)
Ruckus
Coolin’ Off
Crazyhorse Mongoose
Into The Deep

Those and try doing a Pandora station with "The New Mastersounds"
If you like FUNK, you will get some excellent funk doing that.
Almost anything by "The New Mastersounds" is Excellent .
The newest album by them is "Renewable Energy". It is Excellent.
If you like Downbeat Stuff try :
Nightmares on Wax - In a Space Outta Sound
Or if you like Acid Jazz try some :
Mushroom Jazz (8) (6) or (7)
BTW I am 56 years old :)

Crappy music I hope to never hear again.
