Payback
LP (Item 1188) Polydor, 1973 -- Condition: New Copy
A masterpiece of funky soul -- and one of the greatest albums of the early 70s! It all comes together on this one -- funk, soul, politics, and production -- and the record is still one of the clearest examples of James Brown's genius that you'll ever find! Recorded during the same sessions as the JBs album Damn Right I Am Somebody -- Payback has the group backing James with amazing intensity, playing on and on for very long stretches, improvising jams that perfectly match the vocals, which are often as improvised as the music. The most famous example of this style at work is "The Payback", which begins with a simple head arrangement, then has James riffing off on politics and power, letting the band come in at just the right moment, dropping solos that are still some of the best ever recorded on a funk album. The rest of the album's equally great, and even though most tracks run close to 10 minutes, and the album's a 2LP set, most of the material stays fresher than any 3 minute funk record we've ever heard. Some tracks are separated by these cool voices that rise up as seques -- and titles include "Stone To The Bone", "Mind Power", "Take Some Leave Some", and "Shoot Your Shot". © 1996-2009, Dusty Groove America, Inc. | ||||||
