Baby Elephant

A few days ago, someone posted up an album by Newkirk. I was never a fan of that Funk City album.

From what I remember it sounded like a generic New Jack Swing album.
However I do remember him being involved with something that was actually quite interesting.

Baby Elephant was a project with Don Newkirk, Prince Paul and Bernie Worrell at the helm.

They only released one album Turn My Teeth Up! (2007)...



...Turn My Teeth Up! & Fred Berry




...Crack Addicts In Love & If You Don't Wanna Dance




...Skippin Stonze & Scratchinatanitchouttareach


Appearances...

Nona Hendryx
George Clinton
Shock G
David Byrne
Reggie Watts


...among others.

Yes, it was released back in '07.

And yeah, it was a pretty cool album. cool

"Crackheads In Love," "Fred Barry" and "If You Don't Wanna Dance" were probably my favourite tracks.

Correct, I was thinking about the Newkirk album when I typed in the year.

I HATED Newkirk's solo album. Wanted very much to like it, but HATED it. disbelief

I'll check this out, though. I figure Bernie Worrell's work on it would make it at least worth a listen.
