Hot Thang

A virtual primer in psychedelic funk, Eddy Senay's Hot Thang marshals widescreen arrangements, blissed-out grooves, and deeply soulful guitar to forge a series of instrumentals that twist and turn like rides at an amusement park. Senay's supple, understated guitar style often recalls Grant Green in its sophistication and finesse. His fuzz-laden riffs and Technicolor solos nevertheless burn with feverish imagination, reinventing material like Bill Withers' "Ain't No Sunshine" and Donny Hathaway's "Zambezi" from the ground up. ~ Jason Ankeny
