Dean Brown – Groove Warrior

For his follow-up to 2001’s Here, guitarist Dean Brown decided to focus more intently on his musical inspirations from the 1970s. The resulting and aptly-titled Groove Warrior is a slamming affair that owes a debt to the likes of Sly Stone, James Brown, Parliament-Funkadelic, Jimi Hendrix and Carlos Santana while showcasing Brown as a singer-songwriter as well as a chopsmeister of the highest order. Backed by a funky crew including keyboardist Bernard Wright, bassists Booker King and Schuyler Deale, drummer Juju House and special guest Marcus Miller, Brown lays down some soulful lead vocals and searing guitar licks in his second recording as a leader for ESC.
