HMV Review

James Brown moved shop from Cincinnati to New York in 1971, switching from King Records to Polydor, trading the appellation Soul Brother Number One for the Godfather of Soul and shifting his music in the process. Vol. 8 of Hip-O Select痴 ongoing chronicle of JB痴 complete singles documents those first two years of his Polydor stint, the time when Polydor pushed for the crossover hit Brown craved while James leaned on arranger David Matthews, who steered JB toward an urban music that was swinging, sophisticated, occasionally melodramatic, and always accommodating toward Fred Wesley痴 increasing jazz bent. In other words, James Brown ceded gritty funk to young upstarts like Funkadelic, following the path of ・0s peers like Curtis Mayfield and Isaac Hayes into blaxploitation, staking ground on Black Caesar and even then leaving most of the work to Wesley, a pretty good indication of Brown痴 level of concentration in 1972 and 1973. Despite this fresh start, JB痴 attention wandered and many of the sessions in these years came out under the Fred Wesley & the JB痴 billing -- and several sides that did show up under Brown痴 name were instrumentals, or were revived older tracks, as in the case of 的 Got Ants in My Pants and Want to Dance. Given the caliber of musicians in the JB痴, much of this is enjoyable, but there is a notable dip in quality and consistency, especially when compared to the hotbed of creativity of 1970-1972, when Brown was pushed by Bootsy and Catfish Collins, creating some of his hottest music ever. The JB痴 of 1972-1973 did cut a few seminal singles -- Wesley rightly calls 敵et on the Good Foot 登ne of the more perfect recordings we ever did・and there痴 a cinematic appeal to 適ing Heroin -- but it痴 telling that the real blockbuster of this time is 泥oing It to Death, credited to Fred Wesley & the JB痴, something that says quite a bit about James・work in this era. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi
