Lettuce Outta Here (2-LP Vinyl)

Description:

Before they were headlining festivals and selling out theaters, Lettuce were Boston kids who came up together at Berklee College of Music, honing a brand of heavy, sweat-soaked funk that felt lived-in from day one. *Outta Here* captures the band in their hungry early years, already pulling in legends like John Scofield and Fred Wesley because the music demanded nothing less.

Outta Here by Lettuce comes raw: no fluff, nothing smooth, just hard funk. The record combines the grit of the Meters, the harmonic textures of Herbie Hancock, and the hyper-tempo funk of live James Brown. On this record, Lettuce is joined by some of their heroes. Guitar great John Scofield rips on Flu the Coop and Back in Effect, to which Neal Evans of Soulive lends his B-3 chops. Trombone legend Fred Wesley lends some funk to the James Brown-inspired Superfred and the title track "Outta Here". Despite the record's title, Lettuce is anything but outta here.
