▓ another dope gem, thanks go out to my hommie you know ▓
▓ me juan don demarco!!! ▓
▓ ▓
▓ ▓
▓ ▓
▓ In the 1970s, it wasn't uncommon to find a funk band ▓
▓ that was entirely self-contained ù all of the ▓
▓ producing, writing, and arranging was done by actual ▓
▓ bandmembers, not outsiders. B.T. Express, however, ▓
▓ was never totally self-contained; even its first ▓
▓ major hit, "Do It ('Til You're Satisfied)," was ▓
▓ written by someone who wasn't an official member: ▓
▓ guitarist Billy Nichols. But it is safe to say that ▓
▓ B.T. Express was more self-reliant in the beginning ▓
▓ than it was in the early 1980s; at that point, ▓
▓ Columbia was bringing in so many outside songwriters ▓
▓ and additional musicians that the Brooklynites were ▓
▓ becoming less distinctive. Depending on the band, ▓
▓ outside influence can be either a positive or a ▓
▓ negative ù in some cases, it can revitalize a band. ▓
▓ B.T. Express, however, recorded its most essential ▓
▓ albums when it was more self-reliant. Produced by ▓
▓ Morrie Brown, this 1980 release is full of songs that ▓
▓ weren't written or even co-written by B.T. Express ▓
▓ members and employs its share of extra musicians ▓
▓ (mostly keyboardists). B.T. Express 1980 is a mixed ▓
▓ bag; although it isn't good to hear B.T. Express ▓
▓ losing its identity, most of the material is decent ù ▓
▓ "Takin' Off," "Funk Theory," and "Heart of Fire" are ▓
▓ enjoyable, infectious funk-disco items even though ▓
▓ they lack that distinctive B.T. Express sound of the ▓
▓ 1970s. Meanwhile, the single "Give Up the Funk (Let's ▓
▓ Dance)," which made it to number 24 on the R&B ▓
▓ singles chart, is more recognizable as a B.T. Express ▓
▓ tune. Some of the material is pretty generic, but ▓
▓ overall, B.T. Express 1980 isn't a bad record ù in ▓
▓ fact, it's an improvement over 1978's disappointing ▓
▓ Shout!. Nonetheless, B.T. Express 1980 is the work of ▓
▓ a band that was four years past its prime, and the LP ▓
▓ is only recommended to completists and hardcore ▓
▓ collectors. ▓
