"VooDoo Boogaloo is AMAZING! Every track is a home run. The grooves, the production, the playing - friggin' stupendous. I'll be using every song on the album in The Groove Boutique. Mucho kudos on an astoundingly slammin' achievement!!!"

"Ron Levy's Wild Kingdom - VOODOO BOOGALOO: I'm thinkin' this must be funk & groove month... we've already gotten quite a few CD's reviewed that feature really upbeat funk-based music... & this h'yar "Boogaloo" won't let you down. Ron's a multi-instrumentalist beyond th' normal reach of that word... he jus' KICKZ on th' opener, "Organ Colossus", with some superb B-3... then he pulls out some vibes on th' title track & makes us think we're back in th' late '60's with Cal Tjader. For ol' jazz/phunsters like me, it doesn't GET any better than this. Th' whole album will lift yer' spirits to new highs, & th' group (far too large to catalog here) definitely lives up to th' "Wild Kingdom" image! There are some heavy Latin rhythms in addition to th' more recognizable funk pieces, & that Latino sound is totally authentic & energetic. Whether you're a "party animal" who just needs somethin' to "shake it" to, or a serious connoisseur of jazz with intestinal fortitude, you won't be able to do without this fantastic album. The organ sounds (alone) are worth the purchase price! This one gets a MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED from us for listeners of all persuasions, though particularly for those enthralled with "down-home" funk that just won't quit!"

"Some very hip funk here! Levy's best since 'Zim Zam Zoom'"

"RLWK's last Cd, "After Midnight Grooves" was a slow satiny smooth burn for dancin' and romancin'. "Voodoo Boogaloo" is a full-throttle party throw-down, as Melvin Sparks, Karl Denson, Levy and the rest rock the house, hip, hard and funky. "After Midnight Grooves" made it onto my "Top Ten Recordings of 2004" list. I'm pleased to report that "Voodoo Boogaloo" sounds even better.
