Funked Around, Found Out

With foreword by Snoop Dogg

A wild, rollicking, first-hand account of the good ole' days of funk from Bootsy Collins, the legendary Rock & Roll Hall of Fame bass guitarist for James Brown, George Clinton, and Parliament-Funkadelic.

He's a bona-fide funk legend, a rhinestone-clad style icon, and arguably the best bassist
to ever live (At least, according to Rolling Stone). His career has spanned five decades:
from rising to stardom playing alongside James Brown; to setting the bar, the groove, and
the look of Parliament-Funkadelic; to collaborating with today's most innovative and
beloved musicians, like Anderson .Paak, Snoop Dogg, and Bruno Mars. It's no understatement to say that Bootsy Collins has more than a few stories to tell. No stranger to the spotlight, Bootsy's tales of his escapades are whispered among music nerds and the general public. Now, Bootsy is ready to share with fans his legendary stories. From the ins and outs of his three-decade relationship with mentor and sometimes tormentor James Brown to his collaborative and tumultuous relationship with funk legend

George Clinton and eventually getting clean and becoming the favourite OG for the Hip-Hop Generation.

Bootsy's story is full of heart, humour, joy, sorrow, and a whooooole lot of funk. True to its iconic creator, Funked Around, Found Out includes psychedelic art, costumes, guitars and other surprises that are as closely associated with Bootsy as his thumping grooves. Music fans, pop culture aficionados and other acolytes will rejoice.
