There must be something in the water in Brooklyn these days that has kept this family of musicians going. Amy Winehouse, Mark Ronson, Kanye West, Ghostface Killah, The Hitmen, Wu-Tang Clan, Al Green, Nas, and now Jay-Z all coming to the same bunch of guys in their homemade studios in Brooklyn to get the stuff that todays biggest records are made of. However, this is far from a pop record. Make the Road by Walking is a soulful exploration by a talented young group of musicians into the possibilities of instrumental music; an original, personal, and uncompromised creation that embodies the sound of a select group of musicians in one distinct place, at one particular moment in time. This album is kind of a window into our world on Menahan Street, says Brenneck. In a way, were simply the streets unofficial house band.

Finally back in print! Soulful instrumentals featuring members of Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings, The Budos Band and El Michels Affair.

Includes "Make the Road by Walking," sampled by Jay Z in "Roc Boys (and the winner is...)".
