The second volume from local funkateers Charles Walker and the Dynamites finds the clique flippin the script from the JBs-style hard-funk throwdown of their debut to a wider, more inclusive vision of funk and soul. Employing a female chorus and slowing down the tempo for tracks like If I Had Known and I Got Love (For You), The Dynamites reach beyond the collector-nerd quagmire and find a broad-based R&B sound that even the most cold-hearted cant refuse. Chock-full of humanist, politically charged centrist lyrics and rump-shaking hooks, Burn It Down is the most scorching set of songs Music City has seen in some time. SEAN L. MALONEY
