Each of these tracks nods to an iconic genre, idea or artist that have breathed life into the sounds we love today. Listeners will find an ode to pivotal musicians like Ndugu Chancler, famous studio drummer, to features with Big Tony Fisher of Trouble Funk. This is a very special collection that could not have come at a better time.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The album kicks off with three classically funky instrumentals, chock full of memorable hornlines, flavorful solos, and a stupendous production value. \u201cBlaze,\u201d \u201cGood Morning Mr. Smink\u201d and \u201cNDUGU\u201d are all snappy, precise and detailed tracks, sure to light a fire under your ass. Listeners will feel and hear quintessential flavors from the founding mothers and fathers of funk. Not too much flair, just a steady flow of good music.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\ud83e\udd6c Lettuce - Resonate (Album Stream)\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Uc7PP3Ew8HY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then \u201cChecker Wreckers\u201d comes barreling through the door with a heavy footed beat accompanied by Big Tony Fisher\u2019s gravely, hype lyrics. It\u2019s easily the most powerful song on the album and is without a doubt, a key track. Nobody quite knows what a Checker Wrecker is, but who cares, it\u2019s fun to say.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of their more adventurous funk fusion attempts is \u201cMoksha,\u201d where Lettuce presents their usual grooves and beats while award winning sitarist, Indrajit Banerjee, laces some electrified sitar throughout the track. Everyone comes together to share the space of the track, while still seamlessly blending the two genres together. It\u2019s an incredible feat considering how the two genres could not be more different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\ud83e\udd6c Lettuce - House of Lett (Live @ Fillmore)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1jL8G3LzApA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2018Remember The Children\u201d is a near perfect cover of Earth, Wind and Fire\u2019s 1972 hit. An untrained ear would genuinely not be able to tell the difference between this and movements from the original track. (Obviously, Lettuce put some of their own person flair in their version.) There was never a doubt that the funk outfit was talented or not, but this takes a level of dedication and perfectionism that must be admired &#8211; especially when a song like this has so many different elements of instrumentation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s a shame <a href=\"https:\/\/nysmusic.com\/site\/tag\/lettuce\">Lettuce <\/a>won\u2019t be able to flaunt their new album in a live setting for some time due to recent events, but that won\u2019t stop fans from breaking it down in their living rooms. Lettuce is doing their part to help our first responders and medical care workers. Fans can buy Lettuce branded masks, and when they do, Lettuce will <a href=\"https:\/\/merchandise.lettucefunk.com\/collections\/new-products\/products\/lettuce-head-mask\">donate a mask to healthcare systems in need. <\/a>Take your favorite bands, take care of those on the front lines of this pandemic, and take care of yourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Key Tracks: <\/strong>NDUGU, Checker Wrecker, Remember the Children <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-spotify aligncenter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-embed-aspect-9-16 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Resonate\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/32wdlbMm4TWfi75n9qW1rs?utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lettuce once again flaunts their funky prowess, proving they can take the form of any sub genre of funk on the planet on their new ablum Resonate.
