## Description

In addition to their role as the official house band for Brooklyn-based Dunham Records, Menahan Street Band has received critical praise for their oft-sampled 2008 debut album Make The Road By Walking (sampled by Jay-Z, 50Cent, Kid Cudi, Curren$y and more) and for backing breakout soul singer Charles Bradley on his 2011 debut album No Time For Dreaming (co-written and produced by MSB co-founder and multi-instrumentalist Thomas Brenneck). &apos;&apos;Vibe is a quintessential element in what I&apos;m going for,&apos;&apos; says Brenneck of creating the album. &apos;&apos;Vibe, mood and emotion.&apos;&apos; Those three elements are all over The Crossing, from the opening drum roll of the ominous title track, through the tonal burst of wah-wah guitar on the closing &apos;&apos;Ivory and Blue.&apos;&apos; The Crossing takes you on a cinematic instrumental journey through a nocturnal landscape of moods and emotions, propelled by funky, hip-hopin influenced grooves and dream-like horn and keyboard melodies.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Absolutely incredible! One of my favourites and even better on vinyl
  

*by T***M on January 31, 2017*









  
  
    This record instantly became one of my favourites in my collection. It is amazing that people are still making music like this. The compositions are utterly brilliant and the fact that most are credited to the whole band really tells you something. The musicianship is simply superb and the mastering is excellent. Bright, warm, and well balanced, it feels like the band is right in the room with you. If you like soul, funk, or jazz, if you miss Curtis Mayfield and that full band sound, this record will make you believe that there is still hope for the future of music.

    Love this group. Wonderful ablum an musicians, with sweet grooves on each track. The only issue I've found so far is that my record player doesn't automatically play it as it will with my other lps. Just hafta nudge it a bit to get the tunes going.

    Pure gold

    Man I love Menahan Street Band. No one else has a sound quite like theirs. Just the right amount of funk, soul, afro-beat, hip hop, etc. I think i like this album even better than their first, Make the Road by Walking, which was an awesome album. "Bullet for the Bagman" may be one of the coolest songs I've heard on any Daptone release. Makes me think of a stylish Sergio Leone western or something. Definitely a great addition to your collection, whether you're a fan of the Daptone style funk/soul or just good music in general.
