The Brown Album by Bootsauce
The Brown Album is an album by Bootsauce, released in 1990. 4 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 5 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Masterstroke”, on 1 list with a best position of #242.
The Brown Album, the 1990 debut from Montreal's Bootsauce, came out on PolyGram, and it's a sticky mix of soul, funk and metal that had people reaching for Red Hot Chili Peppers comparisons, usually as a compliment.
It's a loud, greasy, good-time record. Four singles came off it, among them "Scratching the Whole", "Masterstroke" and "Play With Me", but the one that stuck was the last, a funked-up cover of Hot Chocolate's "Everyone's a Winner" that became the biggest hit Bootsauce ever had. By 1991 the album had sold over 40,000 copies and gone gold in Canada.
