Yep, I'm sure. The JB HORNS have only had the three albums I've listed
(not including bootleg releases. You have the JB Horns confused with The
JB's, which although both feature fred and maceo, are NOT the same.
The JB's have several albums.....
the album you speak of is "Food For Thought," with pass the peas, gi9mme
some more, my brother, the grunt, and other essential classics....
other albums include: "Doing it to Death," "Damn right I am Somebody,"
"Breakin' Bread," and "Hustle With Speed." Also, search out the Maceo and
the Macks album "Us!!!!"

Also, make sure you check out the most recent solo release from Bobby on
Instinct called "On the Move (I Can't Get Enough)." Strictly Dope!
Features Jacko Peake all over it, too. Bobby supposedly has a greatest
hits package out, too, but I have yet to see it, although it was reviewed
in Rolling Stone at one point (!!!!). Check out BVobby's stuff on the
Funkcrominicon album that bill laswell released on his axiom funk
serious. Bobby does one track with Maceo, Bootsy, Sly stone, and some
others, and another with Maceo, Bootsy, Fred, Bernie Worell, and others.
The album itself is not my favorite, but those tracks are fresh.
