Sounds like the amazing Wah Wah Watson was playing guitar ... he
collaborated with them on their track for the Red Hot and Cool compilation
a couple of years back. He is definitely the man! His funky playing has
also graced a fair bit of MeShell's recorded output in the last few years,
and his list of credits before that reads like a who's who of funk and soul
history .... Marvin Gaye, Barry White, Herbie Hancock to name just three...
