Album Description
You might have heard Darondo's irresistable soul nugget "Didn't I" - as the opening cut on the Gilles Peterson Digs America compilation. Back in the day he was seen cruising around town in a white Rolls Royce with a "Darondo" license plate. He opened-up for James Brown and lived a colorful lifestyle hanging with folks like the notorious Fillmore Slim. Take a listen to these tracks, released for the first time together on an album, and you may agree that he could have been the next Al Green or Sly Stone. But about 25 years ago Darondo disappeared. Let My People Go is nine tracks long, compiling the three super-rare 7" singles that comprised Darondo's musical career and includes three previously unreleased tracks recently found on a reel of demos. Mixing low-rider soul with blues and r'n'b, he delivered in a variety of styles. From the socially-charged title track to the sexually-driven funk of "Legs" Darondo's raw soul sound is turning heads worldwide.
Customer Reviews:
Diamond in the rough.......2007-06-26
With their raw quality and funk-soul sound, these tracks capture a musical era. Darondo's vocals come through with feeling to deliver a varied collection: from the earnestness of "Let My People Go" to the fun of "Legs" or the ballad-like "Didn't I", Darondo takes listeners on a musical odyssey into the past.
On the virtue of rough edges.......2006-01-20
Important to remember: music needn't be perfectly crafted to be utterly enjoyable. Frenetic one-takes, from The Kingsmen's "Louie Louie" to The Beatles' version of "Twist and Shout," are among the most canonical Rock 'n' Roll songs, for example. But the one-take has less auspicious, yet equally rewarding, results as well. To say nothing about the 50-plus years of Blues, Jazz, and Gospel that preceeded it, a large share of late 60s and early 70s small-label/self-released Soul and Funk music was often recorded in one or two takes. Darondo Pulliam's work on this album is indicative of this early-70s DIY Soul ethos; the music was meant to be recorded and distributed for common folks to enjoy (and not for the scrutinization of audiophiles). With all of that to keep in mind (meaning: not that it's all an apologia for a substandard album), this is a great humanistic stuff in a tidy package. The strings, guitar, and vocals on these tracks, along with a few latter-day overdubs, are pleasantly loose, and although Darondo's voice is more than a bit evocative of his high-pitched contemporaries (heavyweights like Al Green or Ronald Isley), it doesn't sound a bit apish or forced. People: It's refreshing to hear a post-breakup sentiment like "Didn't I do the best I could / Didn't I treat you right?" uttered 30-odd years ago and resounding with big, glorious honesty out of an album released less than a week ago. This is guileless, irony-free stuff that hits like a ton-o-bricks. If this is any indication, 2006 is off to a great start, music-wise.

GREAT ALBUM.......2006-10-23
THE ALBUM IS GREAT AND THE SHOWS ARE EVEN BETTER. ROCK AND ROLL IS ALIVE AND WELL AND WHITESTARR IS LEADING THE WAY. THERE SHOWS ARE THE BEST THAT I HAVE EVER BEEN TO. BUY THIS ALBUM YOU WON'T REGRET IT. IT ROCKS.
Great sound and energy!.......2006-06-25
Yes, I'm a Wisconsin boy, but I've been living and working in Malibu this summer and I happened to check out their show Thursday night. They were headlining at the Malibu Inn and I was right there in front to absorb it all. Most notable was the guitar playing, a veritable flurry of strings and intricate yet smooth transitioning. Vocals were good when they could be heard, but as with most live shows, the supporting instruments prooved too overbearing. The whole show had a great vibe, though, and my friends in Malibu can attest to their talent from past shows. I'm getting the album, and I would recommend it to others as well; definitely to the locals here in LA.
5 Stars for WHITESTARR!!!.......2006-06-14
This album ROCKS like nothing else has for years. These boys know how to party and to sing about it, I love this album!!!! Rock and roll is BACK!
Better than good, but not good enough to be 'Great'.......2006-06-07
If you're looking for some unfiltered classic rock tunes, you really can't go wrong with Luv Machine. I thoroughly enjoy listening to the CD and there are no uncomfortably poor tracks. Unfortunately, there are also no songs that blow me away and my favorite Whitestarr tune, 'Wait For You' doesn't appear on this album. They might not bust on the scene like Pearl Jam or Guns N' Roses did, and they might not be in the same room as many great classic rock groups, but their certainly in the same building. They've been together for 6 years and sell out all their shows at small and medium venues and this is their first full-length CD, so I'm hoping there's more to come. The lead singer is dating Mischa Barton and his father directed 'Up in Smoke', so I think its worth a shot.
Check out Whitestarr now!.......2006-05-17
Great band. Every EP they have released has just gotten better. Their full length LP is awesome. Check 'em out if you like dirty rock like the stones with a lil' boogie to it.

Note to the Young Gunz: before you declare yourselves the future of the Roc you might want to release a debut album that actually supports such a wildly boastful claim. Tough Luv is not that album. Sure, Tough Luv offers up adequate hip-hop. Songs like the R&B-inflected "Grown Man" and "$$$ Girlz," with its retro-'80s, Hall & Oates sample and start-and-stop tempo changes, will easily satisfy young rap fans and the legions of Roc-A-Fella devotees. And there is, of course, a nice little Jay-Z cameo on "Never Take Me Alive." (Despite the next wave's best intentions, the Roc will never be the same without Jigga.) The Gunz may have a decent delivery, but the beats and lyrics leave something to be desired. We already know what the past looks like. If you truly are the future you've got to give us something new. --Rebecca Levine

Disappointment.......2005-06-12
I was disappointed with the young duo from Roc-A-Fella. These guys (especially Young Chris) have impressed my lyrically on almost everything else I've heard them on. Not only was this album not impressive, it was almost, dare I say, bad. I hate to say it cause I love these cats, but this is not a good album. Hopefully they redeem themselves on the next one.
4.5 star debut near classic album.......2005-04-09
Young Chris & Neef the late teens from State Property deliver a very solid 17 song debut album. Guests are on about half the songs and each artist has a solo (Young Chirs - my favorite of the 2 has a stronger solo and a few more verses on the album). It has 1 classic, 4 near classics, 4 ok songs, 1 I skip and the rest are good. Production is very god and mostly handled by Chad Hamilton (9 songs), Just Blaze did 2 songs, and Bink One, Scott Storch, Ruggedness, Boola, EZ elpee, and Darrel Branch all did 1 song. A must have rap album for all and for State Prop or Roc fans especially.
#1 - 9.5 (good beat)
#2 - 8.5 (f/ beanie sigel)
#3 - 9 (f/ Rell -- more relxing song for the ladies -- good beat though)
#4 - 7 (old school beat)
#5 - 8 (f/ Juelz Santana -- samples Hall & Oates' "Rich Girl")
#6 - 9.5 (f/ Jay-Z -- good beat)
#7 - 10 (CLASSIC!! --- great song that is very deep about the troubles the 2 went through together -- f/ denim --great beat as well)
#8 - 8.5
#9 - 9 (Chris solo)
#10 - 9.5 (a good song that actually features Cam'ron -- good beat)
#11 - 9.5 (f/ Sparks -- good beat)

#13 - 7.5 (f/ Freeway)
#14 - 8 (deeper song)
#15 - 8 (f/ denim)
#16 - 7.5
#17 - 4.5 (horrible song -- f/ chingy -- I hated the original version so I have no clue why they remixed it and got sorry @S$ Chingy to do a verse????)

4.5 Stars
This debut album was impressive, I've always been a fan of the ROC and this album pretty much somes up what kind of new young talent they got signed. Young Chris is a great and Neef isn't on his level but he's good. Pick this album up and you'll see why their the "youngest in charge."

Human Rights = HR from Bad Brains.......2006-09-22
Great reggae album. Jah Make A Rastaman is def the standout track on this album. Alot of HR's solo work is pretty bad - this album, along with Charge (under his name HR aka Paul Hudson) are the two best. This is not as polished sounding as Charge which makes it more interesting.
Inspired reggae!!.......1999-05-06
Human Rights "I Luv" is one of the best reggae albums tat I've ever heard. Not only is it inspired, but songs like "Who's Got The Herb?," and "Shame In Dem Game" are more than exceptional! Every song is worth listening to, and the lyrics are all concious with praises to King Selassie frequent and sincere. As far as finding a copy, I don't know what to tell you. I was lucky enough to be given my copy by a friend who came upon it by chance. I've never heard of or seen another copy anywhere, but if you can find one it is well worth owning!!
This is one of the greatesr reggae albums. Also my favorite.......1999-02-19
This is the only album I have been looking for, for atleast three years. I heard it quit releasing in 95'. Please get this for sale again.

nice start.......2004-08-29
This cd was slept on by many people and got no airplay when it first came out. This was the 2nd cash money cd on universal records.I love this cd for the song big ballin is represents the whole cash money label and was one of the best songs they ever made!
good album.......2004-02-13
The big tymers were decent in this album. This is the best two non rappers can do. Throughout the album is good songs and beats but their lyrics get so repetive. Cars hoes and money by halfway its gets bad but with the cash money gang making appearences on most of the songs it is good. All the songs are good but track ten is stupid, mannie fresh can't sing at all. U can't go wrong with the album unless you are looking for deep lyrics cause this ain't it
YOU GOTTA LUH DIS!.......2003-11-21
BABY AND MANNIE ARE BRILLIANT. THEY ADMIT THAT THEY ARE NOT LYRICAL RAPPERS, BUT THEY ARE EXTREMELY ENTERTAINING. THIS IS MY 2ND BEST BIG TYMERS ALBUM.

This is the same as VOL. 1 just in case you are looking for it.
It is a good album - I GOT THAT WORK is also pretty good.

Funky Driver on a Funky Bus.......2004-09-27
If you like Blaxpliotation era soundtracks and seventies funk that's the illegitimate stepbrothers of James Brown and Charles Wright's Watts 103rd Street Band, then this is for you. The flipside of silky Philly Soul, this is raw, funky, ghetto music that will remind you of inner-city Black America circa 1972 even if you've never left Iowa or were born far too late to catch it the first time around. Some tunes in particular are very crudely recorded even by the standards of the time, but this adds to the charm. Rappers and Dj's in particular will love this, as it is filled with Bomb beats to pump up the volume that they deservedly crave. Oh yeah, "Funky Driver on a Funky Bus" is as much fun as it's title indicates. Just don't cuss the driver like the character in the song. Enjoy.
A must have and very rare.......2004-06-08
In a time when you had some serious hard working and struggling bands with raw pure funk and soul it dont get better than this
classic stuff here , and to be a part of it as i watch my father contribute to it as a sax player with the new breed and the natrual four this is some classic funk at its best !!!
Git Back...& Check 'Em Out!.......2004-02-22
As the liner notes put it, Johnny Otis protege Sugar Pie DeSanto ("Git Back") doesn't "take no stuff from no one!" Then there's 12-year-old Little Denise ("Check Me Out") who's "got her thing together." Just add a few horns, a touch of flute, some blues guitar, a whole lotta earth-shakin' bass, and that describes all the other funketeers on this fine compilation. "Bay Area Funk" proves that Sly and the Family Stone and Tower of Power were just the tip of the Bay Area's iceberg o' funk. Archival label Luv & Haight, which takes their name from a song by the Family Stone, has put together a tasty collection of rare sides from 1967-1976 that includes reminiscences from historians and DJs, lively bios, and lapel-popping pics. A must for the funk aficionado.
Tightest funk out there.......2004-01-12
In the huge pile of CDs featuring early funk out there this is easily one of the best. It features artists from the Bay area of San Francisco recorded at the same time as psychedelia was flourishing in the inner city (late 60's/early 70's). Some of the tracks show that influence and are all the fresher for it. For me this stuff is much more accessible 30 odd years later than the acid rock of the same period. It's ironic that the funk of San Francisco was focused on short, tight tracks while the rock drifted into meaningless jams. Later in the 70's both would be making the move into excessive, more is less territory, but at the time these tracks were waxed it was obvious that the rhythm was treated as a short injection rather than a prolonged treatment. Having said that, the stand out track is actually the longest on the CD (What is it? by the Appollis), but every track is a winner. There is also a complilation of Texas funk out there which is a monster as well. Get em.

The good stuff.......2007-06-21
An amazing collection of soul and funk music unparalleled in today's music. It's hard to find music this good, and here it is all packaged together for you. I listen to this album over and over again.
A Real Good-Un'.......2006-01-27
Seems like (if you're looking in the right places) the marketplace is flooded with rare groove and underground funk compilations. It's hard to even know where to begin. You could do a whole hell of a lot worse than 'California Soul.' Distributed by Ubiquity, who guarantees all their albums - and always live up to the promise in my book - this one is wall to wall sound. Lots of variation too; from laid-back soul to mellow funk to righteous grooves and even a latin dip ("The Wobble Cha"). All culled from the best years of the 70's, the golden age of black music in America. If you dig soul and funk and you stumble on this one somewhere...pick it up and run.
You're gonna love this!!!!!!.......2003-01-19
I love this CD man - it ROCKS. You are especially gonna love the Carnival (track 11) although of course Orquestra Esencia aren't on top form because when they play the Carnival they play the best of all. They play at wakes and wedding and at all the fancy balls, but they cancelled playing funerals to play the CARNIVAL. You're ALSO gonna love tracks 1 through 14 a.k.a the whole thing. TOP.
