2011, Atlantic
VINYL FORMAT. "Released in 1979, Say Blow by Blow Backwards is the second of two albums that Fred Wesley and the Horny Horns (which employed Maceo Parker on tenor and alto sax) recorded for Atlantic in the late 1970s. Wesley produced this album with George Clinton and Bootsy Collins and it comes as no surprise that 'We Came to Funk Ya' and shadowy 'Half a Man' are straight-up p-funk. But some of the time Say Blow by Blow Backwards doesn't sound all that much like a Parliament or Funkadelic project. Wesley's appreciation of jazz comes through on the instrumentals 'Mr. Melody Man,' 'Just Like You,' and 'Circular Motion.'" --All Music Guide
