(November 6, 2016) There’s about to be some new Incognito. Well, not really new. After all, Bluey’s hard driving funk, soul and acid jazz collective just dropped a new project earlier this year – the highly regarded In Search of Better Days. The group is releasing a package set called The Classic Album Series. The set includes the albums Who Needs Love, Adventures in Black Sunshine and Eleven, three projects Incognito released in the middle of the last decade.
That album features bonus tracks, including a cover of Ned Doheny’s “To Prove My Love,” a cut that likely escaped all but hard core fans of funk and dance music when it dropped nearly more than three decades ago. This remake, which includes gospel inspired backing vocals, strong lead vocals, a driving bass line and horn work that confirms the influence that groups such as Earth, Wind & Fire and Tower of Power had on Bluey, confirms that you can do a whole lot worse than have Incognito cover one of your songs. Check it out, and give Doheny’s original a listen as well.
