James Brown R.I.P.



James Brown: Funky Drummer
In The Jungle Groove (Polydor, 1986)

James Brown: You Mother You (see the playlist below)
Sho Is Funky Down Here (King, 1971)

Sho Is Funky Down Here is "one of the wilder James Brown instrumental LPs from the late King period. The James Brown Band is fronted by a heavy fuzzy guitar sound, which gives the LP a sort of rock-break feel, with nice fuzzy electric tones. All tracks are by James and Dave Matthews, and the record is sort of a second album by Matthews' Grodeck Whipperjenny group."

Just to be clear though, I don't know if you can really say that Brown "made" "In the Jungle Groove." It was really a comp that Polydor assembled that featured some of the best 67-71 material from Brown's funk years. It's all Brown's music of course, but it's one of those projects that could only have come together at a later point rather than at the time when the songs themselves were actually recorded.
