The inimitable Chaka Khan is back with a new album of cover songs and original material called Funk This that hit the stores yesterday. She puts her own twist on some classic tracks of the past, including Joni Mitchell's "Ladies Man," Prince's "Sign 'O' The Times," and Jimi Hendrix's "Castles Made of Sand." Michael McDonald, sounding grittier (for a change) and more soulful than he's ever sounded, duets on his "You Belong To Me," and Mary J. Blige joins in on "Disrepectful."At 54, Khan still sounds as good as she did back in the days of Rufus. You can listen to the entire album at her website.
Track list: "Back In The Day," "Foolish Fool," "One for All Time," "Angel," "Will You Love Me?" "Castles Made of Sand," "Disrespectful," "Sign 'O' The Times," "Packed My Bags," "Ladies Man," "You Belong To Me," "Hail To The Wrong," and "Super Life."
