**Bull – Bootsauce**\
1992 • Funk / Hard Rock • Vertigo /Polygam\
Cassette
Did you know Canada had its own answer to the Red Hot Chili Peppers?
Same style of music, though Bootsauce leaned a little more metal. So damn similar that even Wikipedia says they were “compared favorably to the Red Hot Chili Peppers.”
Now you might say Bootsauce just copied RHCP.
But here’s the wild part.
Bootsauce recorded a cover of “Love Rollercoaster” FIRST. On this album it’s called “Rollercoaster’s Child,” but it’s pretty much the same thing. RHCP recorded their version 4 years later.
Bull is very much a product of its time, though. There just isn’t much funk rock in this style anymore, with RHCP being the lone mainstream exception.
I really like “Love Monkey #9,” which opens the album with a complete scorcher.
Then there’s “Dogpound.” It has bass. Bass for DAYS. And that chorus is delicious.
This album was a modest success in Canada and went gold. It never really reached ears beyond this country.
But that’s all right.
Some music is just for Canada.
