More than straight funk (which they surely served up), Dragon Smoke is about soul music in its many-faceted variety – from inhibition softening slow numbers to blazing shack Bayou fare to Clintonian Chocolate City numbers. Their diverse influences, supreme confidence and stellar chops offered us a playful, well-maneuvered cross-section of where funk and soul have traveled since Ray Charles, Professor Longhair and Motown began to spread regional offerings onto the national scene.
