| | BOOTSY |
| | For once Bootsy seems unsure of himself, and the album doesn't work up steam, although some songs (the frantic "It's A Musical," the hilarious love song "Sacred Flower") are gems. | | | Bootsy's first record in six years showed he hadn't wasted his time out of the spotlight - the wide variety of his intervening session gigs seems to have expanded his conception of what a Bootsy Collins record could sound like. | | | Bootsy heads back to his Seventies sound here, with a couple of great tunes ("Wide Track" with the Horny Horns, "Back N The Day"), and an homage to original Funkadelic guitarist Eddie Hazel, who had died in 1992 ("Goodnight Eddie"). |

| | Bootsy Collins : Stretchin' Out in Bootsy's Rubber Band - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect |
| | All of the albums that Collins provided in the late '70s are worth owning, but Stretchin' Out in Bootsy's Rubber Band is among his most consistent and his most essential. | | | Arguably, William "Bootsy" Collins was to 1970s P-funk what Snoop Doggy Dogg was to 1990s gangsta rap -- a quirky, goofy, highly colorful figure who was as funky as he was entertaining. | | | If you removed all the humorous banter from Stretchin' Out in Bootsy's Rubber Band, it would still be an album of ultra-funky grooves. |

| | Incredible as it may seem, in his many years on the road Bootsy has never before recorded an official live album release with the Rubber Band; no doubt the sheer energy and deeply funky transcendence of an all-the-way-live "rubber jam" inspired the right people to think about rectifying the situation. | | | KEEPIN' DAH FUNK ALIVE 4-1995 is a specially-priced two CD-set recorded live in Japan, featuring Bootsy and his New Rubber Band, a gang of the original members of this legendary Parliafunkadelicment offshoot -- including keymaster of atmospherics Bernie Worrell -- and fattened up by the presence of some fresh and talented youngbloods. | | | Rubber fans and funkateers can finally rest easy: for the first time in nearly two decades (since 1977, to be exact, when he appeared on the Casablanca release PARLIAMENT LIVE/P-FUNK EARTH TOUR), Bootsy Collins is coming to you live and direct, unbootlegged and undiluted by tape hiss and cheap vinyl. |

| | Collins and the Bootzilla Orchestra were employed for the production of Malcolm McLaren 's 1989 album Waltz Darling and by the early 90s the Rubber Band had started touring again. | | | Between 1969 and 1971, the distinctive Collins basswork propelled some of the era's definitive funk anthems. | | | The bassist's popularity inspired the formation of Bootsy's Rubber Band, a spin-off group featuring such Brown/Clinton associates as Fred Wesley, Maceo Parker and Bernie Worrell. |

| | The Austin Chronicle Music: Record Reviews |
| | The word "baby" should have been retired from music after Collins first uttered it. | | | "I'd Rather Be With You" and "What's a Telephone Bill?" cram an ungodly amount of soul in their grooves, as does the orally fixated "Munchies for Your Love." Yet even the best Bootsy effort came with filler, which makes the first cream-o-the-crop disc of this 2-CD collection a surprisingly strong testament to the Bootzilla thang. | | | Clinton's hands were all over Bootsy's recordings, so they too began to lose their luster. |
