"San Francisco outfit The Droptones have the heavy funk and retro soul credentials in spades. Don’t Get Caught, from their debut 45 is a cover of the Hayes & Porter track. The cover stays true the original with vocalist Tiffany Austin showing off her fine voice complemented by one of the tightest funk bands around." ~ Music for Modern Living - Australia
“The Droptones just released their slow burner of a track “Don’t Get Caught” on the (Colemine) label. The Droptones, based out of San Francisco, draw their influences from such eclectic legends such as Sly & The Family Stone, Herbie Hancock, Little Richard, and Pancho Sanchez to name a few. Their brand of Soul is right up our alley here at FMF. Featuring a long list of Bay Area players,The Droptones tackle the Isaac Hayes and David Porter composition. Originally sung by Mable John on Stax and a rare B-side that wins again, this band lays it down. Sultry and smokey, they do this song justice. What we like about it is the how they put their own twist on this favorite of the Soul clubs. They made it a little heavier, and just nailed it. Drawn out horn parts, and vocals that combine Soul and the Blues; a true tribute to both the era and the blood, sweat, and tears that went into this original. Get this heavyweight 7″ in your box pronto. Ike would be proud. So would Mable for that matter.” - DJ Prestige, Flea Market Funk, USA
