 A funk lovers review October 20, 2004

This cd lacks any imagination whatsoever! Most tracks contain long repetitve intros that make you say to yourself,
" If I hear that riff one more time I'm going to die". Then you hear it two or three more times. There is nothing new in the body of the songs, and then a long repeat of the intro again to finish the tune. I was so bored with the disc I couldn't finish it.

How have more people not heard of or reviewed this band. Lettuce is keeping funk alive! Each track is unique but never loses that critical funk groove. I can listen to this cd all the way through again and again and again. And for those who don't think that this band could possibly be this good live, just check out track 11. Thank you velour records. If I had more stars to give I would. If you want more funky music like this check out Velour.com (where lettuce and topaz (70's-esque cop show funk groove music...very cool) come from) and also homegrownmusic.net.
DAMN FUNKY March 23, 2003

I got Outta Here a few months back and can't stop listening to it. DAMN! I've been listening to Eric Krasno and Sam Kinneger in Soulive and Adam Deitch in John Scofield's band for the past few years, so I knew this disc was gonna be funky. Without a doubt, this group is continuing the vintage, ultra-funky heritage of James Brown, Sly and the Family Stone, George Clinton/PFunk/Parliament and Herbie Hancock/Headhunters. Dig it!

This is an excellent album. Every song on this cd is great. However, two songs stand out above the rest. The title track, "Outta Here" and "Superfred" are the pinnacle of this album. It is no coincidence that these two tracks have a guest appearance by the incomparable Fred Wesley. Fred's trombone chops are unbelievably funky. On "Superfred" he matches the guitar chops lick for lick. This is just ridiculuous considering the man is playing a trombone. Despite what the other review says about Fred being a trumpeter, it is still accurate in the assessment of his skills. As for the rest of the band, I would compare it to Karl Denson's Tiny Universe (without the singing and slow songs) All the songs are uptempo and full of energy. There are excellent horn breakdowns and some very tasty guitar work from Eric Krasno of Soulive. The only thing I can say that this album lacks is more Hammond B3, but I'm a sucker for the organ so my opinion is a little biased. Otherwise this is good.
