Enough about who is Clutchy Hopkins. His music is wonderful the beats
and the instruments he played and made. The Picture up top (of I guess
Clutchy Hopkins) was MTV.com / Album Cover Of The Week "Walking
Backwards."
"Dope
beats evoke the work of the RZA, or Madlib's 'Yesterday's New Quintet',
and the raw drums crackle with immediacy. The moody album evokes dark,
smokey rooms humming with vintage grooves inspired by old records from
swap meet dollar bins. Initially underwhelming, Hopkins' style infects
the brain." - SF Weekly
In 1992 a box of reel to reels was
found at a yard sale. In this box contained enough musical material to
make at least 10 full albums. The original owner would finally surface
as a man named Clutchy Hopkins. We have had the opportunity to spend
some time with this man. He has told us stories about his father who
was a Motown engineer. He has shared endless hours of music with us and
also taught us a lot about ourselves. He is like the funky uncle you
wish you always had. He is a peaceful mysterious man that has given us
some of the best records in our collection. We have had the honor of
making some music with Clutchy as well. We would like to thank Clutchy
for bringing us the music that he has made, and for letting us share it
with the people. Thanks again Clutchy for everything.Here is two videos part 1 and part 2 of Who is Clutchy Hopkins. Tell me what you think.
