Press Release from Creative Commons: "Now for the real news: The album’s individual solo tracks along with many outtakes have been made available with a BY-NC license. Bucky represents some of the best soul/funk virtuoso musicians on the scene today so it’s no surprise that these recording are the cleanest, best originally performed samples ever put into the Creative Commons Sample Pool (which is approaching the 50,000 sample count). There was so much material delivered from the band it took a small army of volunteers from the ccMixter community to chop the tracks into bite-size remix-able loops." [6]

"George Pajon Jr. started out with a killer guitar solo, followed by a sax solo by Timmy Izo, a drum solo by Keith Harris and a trumpet solo by Printz Board, showcasing the extraordinary talent of the back band." [7]
