Funk! Primal Scream are now funk! And it’s strange how not at all strange this feels. Bobby Gillespie has always been one of the least self-conscious men in music, able to enter musical areas where he perhaps ‘shouldn’t’ in a way all the greats did, from Stones to Bowie.
So he’s done psychedelia, acid-house, blues, country, not caring that while the outside world might see a Glaswegian punk from an estate, he sees a freewheelin’ rock ‘n’ roll star. Which is basically all you need to actually enough to carry it off, and be one.
