Enlisting the legendary bassist George Porter, Jr. of The Meters fame, and the soul-stirring vocals of Soulhat’s Kevin McKinney, this track is a masterclass in funk excellence.

“Good As It Gets Anymore” is not just a song, it’s a mood, an atmosphere, a vibe that encapsulates the essence of funk. It’s the sound of summer on the bayou, of dancing feet on Bourbon Street, of a spirit that refuses to be anything but joyous. Toyesauce has not only paid tribute to the greats of funk; they have staked their claim as contemporary torchbearers of the genre. This track is a reminder that sometimes, music can be a transportive experience, taking us to places where the rhythms are infectious, the vibes are high, and life is, indeed, as good as it gets anymore.
