Big" News For Fat Freddy's Fans

With a unique blend of Jazz, Reggae and Hi Tek Soul the seven member New Zealand Band crate a sound all their own. Since the release of "Based on a True Story", their debut album in 2005, they have soared to fame and stardom. Their soulful cuts have also made them favourite all around Europe, thus allowing them to tour the globe three times.

With so many one hit wonders on the scene, fans and critics alike were awaiting this ever so anticipated new album with high hopes. The release of Dr. Boondigga & the Big BW really fit the bill, and eclectic collection of songs with a story, meditative pieces and pieces that are just all around fun, this album reaches a little further for the band, and I am sure the Fat Freddy's Drop fans will hear the maturity of their life experiences in this new album. Their music is evolving and honestly it is all for the better.

The song Pull the Catch was actually a song that they wrote while fishing with Dallas uncle. They left in the morning to fish and by the time they returned they were singing this song, and they recorded the demo for it that very same day. The Nod is actually a New Orleans Flavoured song that was inspired by the communal flat that some of the band stayed in about ten years ago. It has a party vibe and is completely entertaining.

"Big BW" is my favourite track on the album. It has a tame a meditative sound that touches you in a way that is unusual for today's music. "Boon Digger" is the perfect compliment to this song with Dallas on vocals and deep lyrics. It is easy to see why both tracks are included in the album title.

Overall, this second album shows the bands true self in a much deeper and soulful collection; a must have for all Jazz fans. Oh yeah, the album cover also has amazing detail so it is worth checking out!

Fat Freddy's Drop CD is now available for purchase. It is their second CD release release and it shows them in a new level of maturity. The CD release is a unique mix of jazz, reggae, and soul. To order your copy today visit www.cdwow.com.
