▓ ▓
▓ Influenced by the Bar-Kays, Thomas Bucknasty was an ▓
▓ obscure East Coast funk unit that recorded in New ▓
▓ York and Philadelphia in the early '80s. The ▓
▓ forceful, aggressive band signed with RCA in 1980 and ▓
▓ their debut album, Blast-O-Funk, was produced by T. ▓
▓ Life. The album received very little attention and ▓
▓ Thomas Bucknasty broke up without ever recording a ▓
▓ second album. Members of the outfit included lead ▓
▓ singers Thomas McNeil and Lawrence Newton, lead ▓
▓ guitarist Michael "Skeets" Davis, rhythm guitarist ▓
▓ Clayton Johnson, bassist Bobby "Silver" Byrd, ▓
▓ saxman/percussionist Michael Saunders, and drummer ▓
▓ Chuck Lee. ▓
▓ ▓
▓ T. Life, the man who produced Thomas Bucknasty's ▓
▓ debut album, Blast-O-Funk, is best known for his work ▓
▓ with Evelyn "Champagne" King from 1977-1979. But this ▓
▓ little-known LP sounds nothing like Life's much ▓
▓ sleeker work with King Thomas Bucknasty's specialty ▓
▓ is hard, tough, gutbucket, horn-driven funk along the ▓
▓ lines of the Bar-Kays. This isn't to say that ▓
▓ Bucknasty is in a class with those guys Bucknasty ▓
▓ didn't quite have the killer hooks that funk royalty ▓
▓ like Bar-Kays, Parliament/Funkadelic, the Gap Band, ▓
▓ Bootsy's Rubber Band, and Rick James boasted. But ▓
▓ while the material isn't fantastic, it's decent. When ▓
▓ Thomas Bucknasty tears into sweaty, forceful numbers ▓
▓ like "Rock Til You Don't Care," "Flashback," and ▓
▓ "That's What I'm Hoping Now," you can hear the band's ▓
▓ potential. Perhaps if Bucknasty had stayed together ▓
▓ long enough, it might have developed into something ▓
▓ special. But one can only speculate because the band ▓
▓ never recorded a second album. Out of print since the ▓
▓ early 1980s, Blast-O-Funk is unlikely to ever be ▓
▓ reissued on CD. So if you're a funk collector and ▓
▓ come across a copy somewhere, grab it immediately. ▓
