James Brown

ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

"Soul Brother Number One," "the Godfather of Soul," "the Hardest Working Man in Show Business," "Mr. Dynamite" -- those are mighty titles, but no one can question that James Brown earned them more than any other performer. Other singers were more popular, others were equally skilled, but few other African-American musicians were so influential over the course of popular music. And no other musician, pop or otherwise, put on a more exciting, exhilarating stage show: Brown's performances were marvels of athletic stamina and split-second timing.

VINYL FORMAT. A criminally overlooked classic from James Brown. It's a New Day - Let A Man Come In exhibits Brown at a level of maximum funk, literally. Check out the seven minute version of "Let a Man Come In and Do the Popcorn." The one track alone is worth the whole album!

James Brown: The Singles Volume Seven: 1970-1972 is another amazing edition in the acclaimed series documenting every James Brown 45 RPM single release. The singles featured on this 2xCD are from "...a pivotal period that found JB swapping out rebellious longtime bandmembers and bringing in bassist Bootsy Collins and his brother, guitarist Catfish. Their stint with the J.B.'s may have been brief, lasting just over a year, but it was legendary, producing the immortal singles 'Get Up I Feel   [ read more ]

Smack in the middle of James Brown's extensive catalog is a nearly forgotten release from May 1967: Live at the Garden. The album, once overshadowed, is obscure no more! This Expanded Edition features two hours of straight-ahead JB, in a setting unique to his other live albums - a night-club rather than a theater or arena. Included is the opening instrumental set, with the boss leading his incredible band from behind the organ, including ten minutes of "Night Train" and, for the first time, th   [ read more ]

Hypnotic, powerful, and the absolute template for the role of sex machine, James Brown was one of the most dynamic stage performers in the history of pop music, and his band was so rehearsed and sharp that it could change directions with the simple dip of one of Brown's shoulders or the stomp of one of his boot heels. His studio recordings are explosive, but reined in a bit from his live performances, so they were really only an adequate substitute for seeing the man in the flesh. Still, if it's all y   [ read more ]

Like other volumes in Universal's Playlist Plus series, this compilation is spread across three discs and is recommendable for anyone who doesn't want to stop with a well-chosen single- or double-disc James Brown anthology, which could only possibly cover a fraction of the Soul Brother Number One's most significant material. Containing 36 cuts -- including all of the number one black singles, from the late-'60s chart toppers "It's a Man's Man's Man's World," "Mother Popcorn," and {&"Give It U   [ read more ]

VINYL FORMAT. In 1963, James Brown had earned a handful of hits on the R&B charts and had won a reputation as one of the most dynamic performers in the nation, but he hadn't yet made a record that reflected the full range of his musical personality or his magnetic stage presence. Live At The Apollo killed these two birds with one smoking hot platter; while this performance predates the brittle but powerful funk grooves which would later make Brown the most sampled man in show business and focuses on his ear   [ read more ]

VINYL FORMAT. In the Jungle Groove was one of the first (and still one of the best) collections of James Brown's transitional and hard-hitting soul/funk workouts from 1969-1971. While the first few numbers here feature Brown sidemen who were in on his mid-'60s hits, the majority feature the original J.B.'s outfit that helped the singer forge several extended and funk-defining sides during 1970. Faced with a walkout by his old band, Brown partially formed the J.B.'s out of the New Dapps from Cincinnat   [ read more ]
