Pitchfork’s Ryan Dombal commented, “Rather than just listening to old Funkadelic or Stevie albums for inspiration, Voodoo was literally born from them; a typical night at Electric Lady would have D, ?uestlove, bassist Pino Palladino, and maybe one or two of their prodigious buddies playing an entire classic soul album through, and then seeing where those jams led them. This went on for years.”

Atlanta’s very own Lil John Roberts drummed and curated the experience. Lil’ John was on the Voodoo tour in 2001 playing in Lucy Pearl (with Rafael Saadiq); his experience and relationship with this work is an exciting pillar on which to build this reliving.
