Final Assembly at The Hit Factory.
Mastered at Masterdisk, New York.
Here was the idea: that for one year, every time I had a weekend off, I would fly to one of the musical centers of the U.S.A., to one of the towns from which had emanated the music that shaped my life; and in each town I would get with my favorite friends (my favorite mentors, actually), and we would hang out, party, and make a song together - this can't be a bad time!
So where's the party? I started in MIAMI, looked up K.C. (he still "gets down" each night), and he started me on the coast to coast groove. NEW ORLEANS never closes, especially if you know Toussaint: when we got together, fun was number one. I met with Brian Wilson in his hot tub (no kidding), and we decided to write a song. Then when Dick Dale, Walsh and Satriani showed up, the L.A. surfin' guitar hootenanny really kicked in.
I approached the emperor of soul, Covay, to do MEMPHIS justice. He pulled in Cropper, and we set about reassembling the legendary Soul Clan - Pickett, Womack, Ben E. - talk about a function!
DETROIT - what if I gave a party for George Clinton and the P-Funk kids and invited Valerie Simpson - wouldn't that be Motortown meets Sci-Fi - the party event of the year.
MINNEAPOLIS, the veritable center of garage rock of the 60's, sure became the purple party center now. Maybe Z and I could give an old song the new funk.
In the NEW YORK street, doo-wop then, hip-hop now, ain't nothin' but a party - Dion, Carole, The Fresh Prince, Ecstasy - they can tell you that. And don't forget The World's Most Dangerous Band and that Late Night groove those boys throw down, then hit CHICAGO for a live jam session with some blues greats and a cat from Newcastle - there's the sad blues and the party blues.
Anyway, eight cities, ten songs, - join the party - already in progress.

What you'd expect from this novelty item
Review written by John Fitzgerald, December 19th, 2004 This is pretty much what you'd expect from a performer like Shaffer, being known from a more TV personality viewpoint adding up to basically a novelty record more than a recorded work to be taken seriously in any real sense. Mick Fleetwood plays hi hat cymbal on "Metal beach" which you can faintly hear in the right channel throughout this organ driven Beach Boys type sunny bouncer (which is fitting as Brian Wilson does contribute to this track as well as taking the co writing credit). It's basically an instrumental (save for some "doo" chants). As for the rest, the opening "When the radio is on" starts as a doo wop but then turns in to dance/rap stylings. "One cup of coffee" is chirpy pep which reminds me of something that might have appeared on Bill Wyman's "Stone alone" album. "What is soul" is an up tempo lightweight puncher, the title track was co written by H.W. Casey (of KC & The Sunshine Band) and his influence is well heard here in this "Give it up" type bounce. "Room with a view" is a hot live track, a finger snapping slow strolling blues which has a nice stripped down sound compared to what we've previously heard here though when heard on it's own, it loses some bite. "Wang dang doodle" is also live, a straight run through of the Willie Dixon boogie. It's not as good as the Savoy Brown versions I've heard but even then, I personally consider it to be an overrated song for the most part anyways so I'm not very objective on this one. Then we get a funkish cover of "Louie Louie" which has a slight early Talking Heads sound to it. This is one they would've been better off doing a straight run through of instead. "Tear it on down" is a fast stroll/slow shuffle organ chunker which is not really my thing. Yes, "Late night" is in fact a version of the David Letterman theme tune. An obvious highlight, though it's ending is much shorter than what you usually hear on the Letterman show! The closing "Radio/Reprise" is an echoish rehash of "When the radio is on". It's actually better here, but rather insignificant due to it's short length. Overall, not a bad place to go if you like novelty ham ups like this but it's not really a good one for serious music fans.
