damn, just finished listening to this:and I just kept thinking of "I Love LA" and that one episode of Family Guy;"she's picking a apple, then she's putting it in her mouth, no she's not, then she puts it back in her mouth, then takes it out.."not one of my better purchases.

Ike would often times try and punk new dudes, Which from what I understand, would often go down like this:
"Gime a smoke youngblood"
"huuh?? who the fuc* are you old man?"
"I'm OG Ike Turner"
"Who?"
"Ike Tuuurner"
"Who?"
"You know, I used to beat the shi* out of Tina Turner?"
"ohh, that dude. naw, fuc* off old man"
AWESOME!!!
But seriously, how is this album?
Some of the best, most eccentric stuff Ike ever did was on his non-Tina albums. I'm a big fan, and have been wondering about this LP. Having never watched The Family Guy, how does this album stand on it's own?
it actually has Tina on it, interesting for a 1980 release: "Ike Turner featuring Tina Turner and Homegrown Funk"
It's not bad, but it's not great, there are a couple of cool funky boogie/disco tracks, but in general is 'OK'. Interesting note: two song titles are "Only Women Bleed" and "No Other Woman"
I'll try and post some audio later on..
I believe Ike and Tina had split by then...I think this is an odds-and-ends package containing songs from the vault with updated instrumentation. I'll admit, I used to see this album here and there but never bought it because I assumed what you confirmed:
Even so, I'd definitely snap it up if it were cheap enough.
I wouldn't mind hearing it.
