Product Description

New Musical Express (2/23/91) - 8 (out of 10) - "...Although James Brown has been cited by many as the last great blues shouter...[he] has been quoted as saying he didn't even like the blues. For one who didn't like the blues, he was certainly a consummate blues singer....Imagine what he'd have done if he'd have actually liked the blues."
Down Beat (4/91) - 5 Stars - Excellent - "...Explores three decades and three record labels of unique blues interpretations that influenced and inspired the Godfather of Soul."
