    Tommy Stewart was a fairly inconsequential producer during the disco period, who seemed to reel out 12"s and 7"s on a multitude of indie labels, including Abraxas (which his LP was originally on), TK and Amherst.
    'Bump And Hustle Music', which is from the LP, was a big record on the UK 'rare groove' scene in the '80s and is a fairly OK, funky loper. The other star track is 'Riding High', which is a bit of an uptempo, Love Unlimited-style, semi-instrumental affair.

    The rest of the album is like its producer...inconsequential.

    It's almost impossible to keep a straight face while listening to this album, but then, you really shouldn't have to try. It's a document of one of pop music's most simultaneously embarrassing and glorious periods ? the High Disco Era ? when all pretense of lyrical sophistication was abandoned in favor of occasional interjections of "Hey! Get down! Get off your seats and jam!" (a direct quote from this album), every guitar had a wah-wah pedal, and prestige was measured in the size of your horn and string sections. Now this stuff is called "rare groove," and it's at least as much fun now as it was then, maybe more so. Tommy Stewart, king of the legendary Abraxas label, recorded this album back when this candy-covered funk was the happening thing; and it includes, among other classics of the genre, the deathless "Bump and Hustle Music," along with the sexy-kitschy "Fulton County Line," and the charming "Practice What You Preach." The unison voices-and-strings on "Make Happy Music" were a bad, bad idea, but "Riding High" makes up for it by sounding like an airline advertisement circa 1976. A party classic. ? Rick Anderson

    Big Ups this album was a great mixture of the real and only Disco funk of the 70's. "Bump and Hustle Music" was the cut that establish this under ground smash. "Que Pasa" was the cut that was targeted at our Spanish Brothers and Sisters. If you love to just lay back and dig some great smooth music "Riding High" and "Fulton Country Line" will take you there.

    "OH YEA" You may wonder how I know some much about this great album I was the CO-Producer and writer of the project.
