Boulevards is the nom de plume of Jamil Rashad whose latest record Carolina Funk: Barn Burner on Tobacco Road is among my favorites of the year. As Jamil puts it, "He did not want to be a carbon copy and make the same record as my favorite influences growing up. The objective was to make a record that was creative, raw, infectious, syncopated basslines, tight drums, punchy horns that brings a soulful element to the funk." Objective accomplished. This is as fresh and interesting a record as I have heard in a long time.
