Paris Toon – Baptism by Fire
Paris Toon Baptism by Fire
*Paris Toon – Baptism by Fire*
The resurgence of Mothers Favorite Child is upon us but not before its creator, Paris Toon, reintroduces himself and his “child” as only he can . . . through real, raw, MUSIC. The Paris Toon recording project, enigmatically titled, “Baptism by Fire,” is a portion of a life narrated by Mothers Favorite Child. MFC is and has always been a musical collective, whimsically constructed by intuition and nurtured by divine talent. This is a movement on a mission to expose truth in sounds and words. TRUTH – minor and major, raucous and romantic, soulful and . . . spiritual. The man behind the music is Paris Toon, producer, lyricist, composer and driving force of all that he engages in. Paris ritualistically defaults to his “gut” when the time comes to gather musicians and give birth to new songs. This is the method to his rarely observed madness. Since Mothers Favorite Child is a product of this method, it is only natural that its musicians and vocalists would be chosen to provide the soundtrack to the more deeply shaded thoughts of Paris Toon, the man. The music of the Paris Toon project revolves around the mother of all emotions, Love. As many individuals have experienced, love can fuel so many other emotions and sensations and it can also take many shapes, sometimes making it vulnerable to misinterpretation. Lust, mistrust, admiration, honesty, intensity . . . these are all stops along the way on this journey through a human soul. This is a true “Baptism by Fire”.

Fred Thomas – Bass
Not enough has been said about the amazing bassists who have backed James Brown. The vintage music made by J.B. and his ever-changing band is among the most influential made during the 20th century.Scores of low-enders have bounced in and out of Brown’s band, but Fred Thomas has held the bass chair in the world’s premier funk & soul outfit for the better part of 33 years. He anchored the fort on such hits as “Hot Pants, Pt. 1,” “Make It Funky, Pt. 1,” and “Papa Don’t Take No Mess.” The sheer number of hip-hop tracks that use those lines prompted Brown to refer to Thomas as the “most sampled bass player in the world
Fred Thomas came into Desert Rock Studios and put the bottom down for Paris Toon and Mothers Favorite Childs new CD. Fred will be back sometime in September.
