Mr. B's Boogie Band was recorded in November of 1999. Produced by Noah Baerman, the CD sets his original tunes alongside classics like "(You Make Me Feel Like) a Natural Woman" and "Disco Inferno." But while Noah oversaw the record, Mr. B took over as soon as the tape rolled, leading the band through tune after tune of full tilt soul. The CD demonstrates their versatility, moving from aching ballads to Stax-flavored southern soul, along with forays into the worlds of funk, blues, disco, gospel, and even salsa. And the lyrics waste no time in spelling out their agenda. The openener, "Boogie Treat" warns, "the way that we rock the beat will knock you right off your feet." On the next track, "Peace Brigade," Lea wails "there ain't no barricade good love can't break through!" With that, the Boogie Band forges ahead, breaking through barricades with their songs, grooves, and message of peace, love and fantastic funky music.
